No Bounds

It doesn't seem possible to do something as "cruel and inhumane" as a decision to end medical deferred action (which allowed immigrants with serious illnesses to temporarily remain in the U.S.), potentially impacting thousands of people.
Beginning last week, lawyers for some of these immigrants received boilerplate letters from Citizenship and Immigration Services informing them the agency’s field offices will no longer consider applications for renewal under the program.
Senator Ed Markey is among the critics:
This is a new low for [Fuckface]. The administration is now literally deporting kids with cancer.
Update (August 29):  Sophia Tesfaye suggests even supporters might have a limit.
Whether such displays of cruelty are the cause of [Dear Leader's] plummeting polling on his signature issue — [he] is now deeply underwater on immigration, with even non-college-educated white voters, a large portion of his base, evenly divided at 47- 48 on the issue — or its effect is still up for debate. But the brutality is no longer in question.
