In all the examples provided, they have been here many years so clearly have received prior deferments.
Which have now been ended because of this policy change.

If this policy change stands, this woman, and people like her will be deported to their deaths.
 
No, they can once again apply for a deferment, they must contact ICE on this.

One of the articles above I posted states that.

ICE will not grant them. I will eat my hat if they do.

These deferments are discretionary, non-reviewable, and non-appealable.

“Zero tolerance.”

Newark ICE Grants Immigrant Grandpa Deportation Stay​

I am sure there are many more cases.

So, false.

Jimmy al Douad with a record of 20 convictions skipped out from ICE non-custodial supervision, that is another topic as well but somewhere, there has to be some respect for the law and help from the migrant.

Same story. If one is now saying in regards to this program that would seem to make sense, since apparently this policy just began and even then, we do not know if it has not happened.
 
Sinful behavior too is being against law enforcement and seeing innocents killed because laws are not enforced. There seems to be a blindspot about Americans who die per lax immigration, per fentanyl and heroin and per violence. That is evil, these people are our neighbors too. Love thy neighbor.

Also, it is very evident the asylum processed is greatly abused and good applicants may be denied or have to wait much, much longer.

Don’t tell me that the immigration system has no fraud, no matter what kind.

It’s not sinful to be opposed to unjust laws. Saying that it is a sin to be against that, or against unjust enforcement of laws, is a very slippery slope.
 
The difference is that withdrawal of extraordinary care differs from withdrawal of ordinary care.

Terri Schiavo died from dehydration, which was caused by the prohibition that she receive any hydration. Her nutrition was also prohibited.

Ordinary care is generally food, water, and comfort care.

Extraordinary care is most other medical treatment. There are some simple medical treatments which in certain circumstances would fall under ordinary care, such as use of antibiotics for a minor infection like a UTI [ETA] in a place where antibiotics are easily obtained.

Medical care can be ended or not started, knowing the patient will die, per the CCC:
2278 Discontinuing medical procedures that are burdensome, dangerous, extraordinary, or disproportionate to the expected outcome can be legitimate; it is the refusal of “over-zealous” treatment. Here one does not will to cause death; one’s inability to impede it is merely accepted. The decisions should be made by the patient if he is competent and able or, if not, by those legally entitled to act for the patient, whose reasonable will and legitimate interests must always be respected.
Thus, euthanasia is causing the death of someone by omitting some care, such as food, or by taking an action with the intention of causing death.

Allowing someone to die of the underlying medical problem because the medical care has become burdensome is a different matter. The person dies from medical problem, not because of a condition caused by human action or inaction.

@dvdjs

FWIW: altho it seems that what might be happening is a switch from CBC to ICE, if indeed this is an attempt to deport people who have been here on medical visas, I think it is wrong to do so. My point here is to clarify what constitutes euthanasia.

If Isabel dies it is surely by human action taking away the treatments keeping her alive.

My son was on a ventilator due to being premature. They expected him to live and grow. Taking a ventilator away from him would have been immoral.

My grandfather was on a vent at the end of his life . His vent was disconnected and then he passed away shortly after.

With treatment Isabel will live, and her doctors are also helping other children by using treatments developed on Isabel.
 
Taking away the ventilator from your son would not have necessarily been immoral. It seems immoral to us because it is not an uncommon treatment, and it was not posing an undue burden on anyone.

However, removal from ventilators happens all the time. I knew a man who had himself removed because he had been extensively injured in an accident, and knew his care would pose an enormous hardship on his family with very little benefit. This was not immoral, according to the Church.

I would say that discontinuing the medical treatment of the people described would, on the face of it, be immoral because there is no undue burden on anyone.

However, before I get caught by an outrage-producing article, I want to know more. Just earlier this week, I was initially caught by such an article, but when I found out more, discovered that the original article was deficient in facts.

I do regret the apparent abruptness of the announcement, which provided a completely unnecessary stress for people who already have enough.

You aren’t reading carefully
It’s not their first deferrment

The policy has now changed. There will be no further deferments.

ICE has the discretion to provide what they call “deferred action” or “prosecuturial discretion,” but under the Trump Administration they never do the later, and probably no longer the former. This case is a great example of how a zero tolerance policy is a poor idea.

Also, ICE’s decisions in these cases is final. No judge, no appeal, no review, no court.
 
Immigration judges are still involved.
No they aren’t. Deferred action is an administrative action taken exclusively by ICE. It does not involve immigration judges at all. IJ’s work for the Department of Justice, not ICE. Since it is handled internally by ICE, there is only the review that ICE determines it should have - and ICE determines it should have no review. And Circuit Courts do not review such holdings because of the Chevron Deference to executive agencies.

You don’t seem willing to allow that this program is gone, so the people benefiting from it will be gone too. They will die because this program is gone. Sometimes a policy is just bad, and there is nothing you can do to make it sound good.

This policy will kill people. Full stop. Jesus wouldn’t deport this woman, so why should we?
 
Well said, QFT, qouted for truth.
No they aren’t.
To a similar topic, please, let’s be careful with how we use Jesus here.

Jesus certainly would not approve of drugs, violence and hjman trafficking. Now, if this were just a conversation on one thing, that’ that. However that is not the total picture.
