Tacoma got dragged into DeSantis' immigration stunt. Even from here, his cruelty is clear

Sometimes one quote says it all. Sometimes one description — one sequence of perfectly chosen words — gets to the heart of the matter the way 10,000 words can't.

Rachel Self, a Boston immigration attorney who momentarily found herself at the center of one of the most bizarrely cruel acts of political callousness in recent memory, delivered just such a moment this week.

Self told reporters that at least one person was given a mailing address of a Tacoma homeless shelter, saying that some migrants provided with a fake address were instructed to quickly check in with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office nearest to it.

"There is no other reason to list as someone's mailing address a homeless shelter in Tacoma, Washington when they ship him to Massachusetts. It is sickeningly cruel throwing obstacles in the way of people fleeing violence and oppression, some of whom walked through 10 countries in the hopes of finding safety," Self said.

Thought this was hysterically funny.

They have enjoyed every minute of this cruelty.

Tacoma Rescue Mission and Nativity House are the biggest.

I’m still getting Ukrainian refugees at the clinic. I wonder if we’ll get Venezuelan refugees, as well.

If we do, they will get love, compassion, and excellent medical care.

To Hell with Desantis…
