In another act of incredible cruelty, Jimmy Aldaoud, of Iraqi extraction, who came to the U.S. from Greece and lived here since he was six months old, was deported to Iraq under Trump’s immigration policy.
He had never set foot in Iraq and didn’t know the language. His death may have been connected to his inability to obtain insulin to treat his diabetes. Friends said he also had mental health problems. He was last seen alive sleeping by a dumpster in Iraq.
An immigration attorney friend of the family said, “Rest in Peace Jimmy. Your blood is on the hands of ICE and this administration.” [Information is from Politico, L.A. Times and USA Today].
