'Literally deporting kids with cancer': Trump admin ends protections for some getting medical care

The radicalization of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services under Ken Cuccinelli continues, now that the agency has told a number of Boston families that had been allowed to stay in the U.S. while their children undergo vital treatment—including for cancer, cerebral palsy, and cystic fibrosis—to leave the country within 33 days or be thrown into deportation proceedings.

It’s not just Massachusetts, either: “Advocates say similar letters from [USCIS] have been issued to immigrants in California, North Carolina and elsewhere.” Previously, USCIS allowed some immigrants short-term deportation relief through what’s known as medical "deferred action,” so that family members could receive or continue medical care, while parents would also be given permission to work legally. But this could now mostly be a thing of the past for many.

What words apply here? How can I put it most eloquently?

Fascist ratfucker! Genocidal maniac! Steaming hot bag of rotting pus and writhing maggots! Bloviating, over-inflated hand tool of darkness and death, channeling Charles Manson and Stalin! Stinking, putrid, child abuser! His twittering gob oozes nothing but wretched filth like an undulating alligator anus! Pompous, psychotic, hallucinating madman and Lord of Deception! Orange demon arisen from the depths of the Inferno to lay waste, torture and destroy. Monster of humongous proportions, slayer of all that is good.

He seems to make it easier. I also owe a lot to Monty Python, those masters of picturesque insults and pithy putdowns.
