Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

ICE said that after Noviello was found unresponsive, medical staff “immediately” performed CPR and used an electronic defibrillator to try and revive him, before calling 911.

This could be something lost in translation, which does happen a lot with news articles

But that specific phrasing, that they performed CPR and used a defibrillator before calling 911 rubs me the wrong way

Basically the moment you determine CPR or a defibrillator might possibly be needed, someone should be calling 911 unless you are already in a hospital.

Bringing someone back with CPR is basically a statistical anomaly, most of the time all it does is buy you a bit of extra time to get them to a hospital.

And defibrillators, especially automatic ones, are only effective for certain abnormal heart rhythms (AEDs only do ventricular fibrilation, manual defibrillators can handle a couple more things, but contrary to what movies may have you think, you're not going to "restart" anyone's heart who's flatlining with a defibrillator, it's more like turning the heart off and hoping it restarts itself and stops doing what it was doing before, more of a reboot than a jumpstart)

I don't know what kind of medical staff and equipment they have on-hand at an ICE detention center, but I somehow doubt they have a well-enough-equipped medical center that they're prepared to handle a cardiac arrest 100% in-house with no need to send them out to a hospital.

They have the medical capacity to handle a cardiac arrest as well as they wanted to. Death is a perfectly acceptable outcome for them.

So… guy was convicted of distributing prescription drugs, claimed to be not guilty, accepted a plea deal, served his time, got his community service commuted to probation, presumably due to unlikelihood to reoffend, THEN got picked up by ICE to be deported to a country he hasn’t lived in for 34 years, and winds up mysteriously dead in custody.

Lesson here: Don’t accept a plea deal if you’re not born in the US to US citizens, unless you’re OK to be deported when your plea deal ends.

You missed on one detail: he was a full on MAGA, sharing posts about enforcing US immigration laws and the unstoppable Trump Train.

It specifies all of what they said in the article OP linked.

Midway through it mentions he migrated to the states in 1991 (which was ~34 years ago), and the final paragraph of the article is:

Noviello was charged with trafficking oxycodone and other illegal drugs, as well as racketeering and using a two-way communication device to facilitate criminal activity. He pleaded guilty to all charges in September 2023 after withdrawing an earlier plea of not guilty. In February of this year, a judge granted Noviello’s request to convert the remainder of his two-year supervised community control sentence to probation

That’s wild, I see it now but earlier I was scrolling everywhere looking for it.

If anyone isn’t familiar with that globalnews.ca and wants another source. Here is the AP article.

They're one of the biggest news channels in Canada.
