well, we would apparently, the coroner was told they checked on him by looking through a window. but even if you re looking through a window, you see this kid lying, unmoving for four hours and you don t go in and at least shake him a little bit? i m not sure by the way as we know from the jeffrey epstein case, in prison sometimes you have people say they do so-called welfare checks but they don t. there was another big report this week in the new york times on the role mackenzie, the international consulting firm, played in developing and executing the trump administration immigration policies. i want to just quote from that report in the new york times of the the money saving recommendations kultdents came up with made some career i.c.e. staff uncomfortable. they proposed cuts in spending on food for migrants, as well as on medical care and supervision of detainees. it goes on to say the team also looked for ways to accelerate the deportation process, provoking worries amon
