ICE said the Canadian was found unresponsive Monday at the Federal Detention Center in Miami and was attended to by medical staff, but was pronounced dead the same day.

If Iran was holding a US citizen against their will and let them die in custody, we would drop a nuke on them.
I hope Canada takes the opportunity to punish us hard for this shit.

Iran has not confirmed that they have him in detention and this was a spy. They literally caught a US spy. Do you know what we do to people we catch spying in the US?
This is quite literally not the same thing. The US has accidentally killed a Canadian tourist. If a part of Iran’s government killed a US citizen we’d use that to launch War today.
It’s not the same thing, but he was a permanent resident for over thirty years
~~That’s an interesting part of the story but in this case this Canadian tourist hadn’t live in the country at all. I feel like the speed at which he entered the US and then died indicates a problem with us custody and handling.
Like I feel like it’s more egregious if you lived in the country for 30 years and then you know were prosecuted as a spy but to just die from being detained is total bullshit~~
Misread something not valid.
What case are you talking about? The article in this post is about a Canadian permanent resident of the US.
Sorry I read something else and got confused I’ll go correct the information later.
Yes, we put them in prison.
If it’s a spy for Russia, we put him in the White House
Someone’s never heard of Gitmo Bay 🤣
Which spies are in Gitmo?
Ahmed al Halabi
This guy was actually acquitted of the charges but was still horribly abused inside the prison: Captain James Yee
Mohammed Hashim
Omar Ahmed Khadr
I mean these are just a few. This wasn’t even hard to look up. Did you not expect that there would be actual spies in one of the US terrorist torture camps?
zero for four, what else ya got?
Accused of spying on gitmo. Was imprisoned in Florida, IIRC
Also accused of spying on gitmo. Imprisoned in South Carolina for a time.
Charged, imprisoned, and released within a year.
not spy. Either terrorist or irregular fighter, take your pick.
Damn that’s a wild looking prison
You seem to have not kept up with events since the 1950s. Your commentary would probably have been a bit more relevant if you had.
tankiesezwhat?
Oh look who learned a new word
You’re just so formulaic
I get it dude, but the US citizen in Iran was a CIA agent fucking with the country.
I wasn’t really making any kind of judgement about it. I just read your comment and thought “I’m pretty sure that’s already happened” so I looked it up.
I dunno about a nuke. Maybe a stern glance in the direction of Iran. I know it’s not quite the same since Saudi Arabia is our frienemy after 9/11, but this US administration’s support is probably more based on skin color than anything.
Jamal Khashoggi
A tactical nuke on a certain house with white paint? You know the one 😏
It sorta depends on what kind of US citizen they are. As one example, US-Israeli citizens are precious innocents who must be protected at all costs, but US-Palestinian citizens are fine as collateral.
No way, we haven’t given much of a fuck about this sort of thing for decades now
Unless they are a Democrat
