Iraqi man dies after Trump administration deports himEdward Bajoka, an immigration attorney who described himself as close to Aldaouds family, wrote on Facebook that the death appeared to be linked to the mans inability to obtain insulin in Baghdad to treat his diabetes.
Aldaoud was an Iraqi national, but he was born in Greece and came to the U.S. as a young child, his family friend said. He had never lived in Iraq and did not speak Arabic, according to Bajoka.
Rest In Peace Jimmy, Bajoka wrote. Your blood is on the hands of ICE and this administration.

If both parents aren't Greek and they have a child in Greece, that child isn't Greek, child gets citizenship of the parents.
And yeah, absolutely sickening.
