19. +1 ICE might as well have shot him in the head.

A diabetic, Paranoid schizophrenic and a member of a persecuted minority is dropped in a foreign country that persecutes his religion. He doesn’t speak the language. How is he supposed to get healthcare and who would want to help him?

He contacted home from Iraq and said that he had been homeless and vomiting because he was unable to access insulin and could not speak the language in Iraq. He said he had been kicked while sleeping on the street.


In the US Aldaoud admitted to stealing power tools from a stranger’s garage.According to CBS Detroit, Aldaoud, whom police described as homeless, was stopped by police after stealing three cordless drills.

“He was a member of the Chaldean minority group,” his lawyer said. “He was a paranoid schizophrenic. His mental health was the primary reason for his legal issues that led to his deportation.”

If he was a white mass shooter, the media would be following the GOP trope of the need for mental healthcare.
