Children’s Taunts About ICE Lead TX Girl to Kill Herself

By Michael Woyton

There have been stories going around since the November election results were announced that children were taunting other children in schools that they were in danger or their families were in danger of being deported — that ICE was going to swoop in and take them away.

A story out of Texas finds that an 11-year-old girl took her own life because her classmates were threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement to have her family deported, according to reporting by the Independent.

The child, Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, died Feb. 8 after being in a Dallas hospital for five days.

She was in the sixth grade at Gainesville Intermediate School which is about 70 miles north of Dallas.

“Classmates allegedly harassed the young girl by telling her she would be left alone without her family once they were deported,” the Independent reported. “But the alleged abuse spiraled, and despite reportedly informing school officials on numerous occasions, no action was taken to stop it.”

The school district did not acknowledge the child’s death when asked by the Independent to comment on the story. Rather, it issued a statement “pointing to its strict anti-bullying code.”

Carranza, whose funeral was Wednesday morning, played the French horn and made TikTok videos. She loved swimming and doing cartwheels, according to her obituary.

Children don’t come into this world with hatred or cruelty in their hearts. Those are learned from their parents, and their parents feel free under this administration to hate others.

I am certain that the felon-in-chief and others around him like acting ICE director Tom Homan will not shed any tears for 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza.

The administration will also not shed any tears for the children who contracted measles in Texas. Certainly, the new head of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will not. After all, getting vaccinated for easily prevented childhood diseases is just a matter of opinion.

No tears will be shed for any future victims of fatal plane crashes in the United States — there have been four major aviation crashes taking the lives of at least 85 people in the past month. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, an alum of reality TV and Fox News, blames it all on diversity hiring and the Biden administration.

There will be no tears shed for anyone on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Veterans benefits or other programs who might have their funding cut thanks to whatever teenagers are running the ironically named Department of Government Efficiency. Elon Musk called anyone who receives federal assistance “parasites,” while not consider his own parasitic multibillion-dollar government contracts.

And I will shed no tears for anyone who voted this adjudicated rapist monster back into office should they be inconvenienced by the incompetence or sheer callousness of this government.

There is a website that is tracking when the mayor of Mar-a-Lago is playing golf. The visits are sourced (sorry that some of the links will take you to the site formerly known as Twitter).

As of Wednesday, Trump Golf Track shows that the felon-in-chief has been in office for 30 days and has spent eight of them golfing — or 26.67 percent of his second time as president.

The tracker also shows the prices of eggs and gasoline — for good measure. Because golfing will help bring the prices down?

Oh, and in case you missed it, Ukraine is responsible for starting the war with Russia.

President Donald J. Felon, who never met a fact he couldn’t distort, said Ukraine “should have never started” the war with Russia, the BBC reported.

The Kremlin has in the past accused Ukraine of initiating the conflict, when Russian launched an invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, so Donnie is quoting Putin’s talking points.
