Acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Todd Lyons has been hospitalized at least twice for stress-related issues as he has carried out President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration agenda — strain that has caused him to struggle to make key decisions for the agency, according to two current and two former administration officials.
The hospitalizations took place over the last seven months. In one incident in December, Lyons’ security detail drove him to a hospital in Washington and he was admitted overnight, according to one former and two current administration officials. During an episode in September, the three people said Lyons was hospitalized for at least one night.
In a separate incident in Los Angeles over the summer, Lyons became so distressed when ICE agents couldn’t locate a migrant on their target list after a ride along with top administration officials that one of his bodyguards took a portable defibrillator from a nearby government office to Lyons in case he needed medical intervention, according to one current and one former official.
Poor guy, must be so difficult for him…think of how hard it is for him to sick goons on people and ask them to shoot people in the head.
It’s probably actually scarier for him than it is for the people getting harassed… /s
Damn shame Lyon’s health insurance is not covered by United Health Care…
<3 I love this for him. May the rest of the administration feel this as well.
:EDIT: Also, here is proof that protestations and harassment is effective. Remove their peace. Frustrate their efforts. Feel no pity, at any point they could just choose NOT to be monsters. They choose to be scumbags every day they wake up and go to work.
You reap what you sow. How does he think the immigrants being hunted and tortured feel?

Probably doesn’t think about that
Hello, CGP Grey here, with a sheet of A4 paper, which is a special aspect ratio that remains the same shape when doubled in size to A3, or cut in half to A5, into quarters to A6 or eighths to A7. It’s such a hypnotizing effect, that you can keep going…down…down…
down…to the size of a bee, the size of the organs of the bee, the cells of those organs, the molecules of those cells. Just ten doublings down and the lights go out, as we hit the limits of anything that could be called human vision. Turning on magic science vision, we see DNA, the instructions of life, and the atoms that make it up. Falling through the electron shell and then twice as many doublings in scale as we’ve already gone we find the nucleus of the atom, tightly packed protons and neutrons, each made of three quarks, at which point we fall down, down and down and down to the basement of existence to reach the Planck length, the smallest distance the universe can contain, which hints at a reality pixel, which we probably shouldn’t think about.
At this scale, at the bottom of reality, there is…nothing here, except for the violin on which I shall play you a sad little tune.
Ah, yes
The metric system and all the measures they use in … Well, not America, is all awesome.
A0? Fold it over the long side, you have A1. Fold it again, A2, etc, all to A7, I believe. Each page is 1 vs square root 2, if I recall correctly.
There are also the B and C formats, though those are less common
An A4 is your standard one page notebook sized paper

Is that really true about A4 and its ratio?
Yes, two sheets of A4 paper placed side-by-side on the long edge measure out to the size of one sheet of A3 paper
There’s a photo of a display on the Wikipedia article for “Paper Size” that illustrates it well.
Europeans once again demonstrating pure sanity when it comes to weights and measures.
I like write on A7. Feels like playing cards.
I’ll just say it’s karmic and leave it at that 🥰
Oh NO! We NEED to Protect

Damn dude, you get banned in too many places for spreading the good ol Republican TRUTH? Why 12d account?

They took a defibrillator when he didn’t need it. I hope wherever they took it from doesn’t have a medical emergency.
Its possible it was part of a general supply depot for such things, and not just a singular unit meant to supply just that office.
I want to think they put it back but with these selfish morons it’s doubtful.
Could the third time be the charm?
Please?
This is actually a very; very sad place for America to be. Apart from the acting ICE head being in this predicament, how many really decent heads of American departments are in the same situation because of legitimate moral and personal philosophy conflicts with their direct orders under the Trump regime? If (when) this becomes a known problematic issue with the top staff in the military, how quickly will military morale and discipline change?
Why would you feel bad for him? He is stressed because trump is pressuring him to imprison more legal and non-legal immigrants and he can’t come up with the numbers.
Apart from the acting ICE head being in this predicament
They don’t. They feel bad for the good government workers we don’t hear about having these levels of stress over moral conflicts with the administration.
This is what you asked for heavy is the crown
Fatass.
What a little boy
Sounds like he can’t handle the job. Next!!
I prefer an incompetent Nazi to a competent one.
Nazis are always incompetent. It’s baked into their philosophy.
That’s why this administration always appoints “acting” heads.
They don’t have to be confirmed by congress and can be fired when the big toddler decides they have become bad for TV ratings.
