I’ve never known anyone who has had penis cancer. Amputation, it says. Yikes.

Eventually, the term “tough shit” will come into common usage, making into America is not and never has been a gold plated health and welfare plan.
To put it another way, if he was back in El Salvador, he would have died at home, there would be no lawsuit.

OTOH, I agree with you, but if you got a guy in custody, you have to take care of him. You gotta feed him, you gotta give him medical care, etc.

Hmm. Here illegally and did illegal drugs. Probably had other illegal things there, too.
Penis cancer? Life’s a b-tch and then you die. It’s just that some are involved in pretty illegal things as well.
Sometimes life deals it’s own poetic justice.

I tried very hard to give a rodent’s rectum about this for about five seconds and failed utterly.

The question I have is who’s going to pay for the treatment?
In fact, who’s paying for his damn lawyer sueing?

If this invader had been deported years ago, his penis would have rotted off in El Salvador, as intended. LOL.

It is not sue a ble.
Why couldn’t he seek treatment once released?
I am sure a whole lot of convicts go without healthcare in the slammer.
Heck civil citizens go without proper care depending on where and what is available and their ablility to find resources in time.

At least when they deport his carcass he won’t be coming back across the border the next day.
