The fundraising website GoFundMe has seemingly picked a side in the ongoing legal case involving a rancher who is accused of killing an illegal immigrant who crossed onto his land.

According to the Daily Mail, GoFundMe removed the fundraisers due to its policy of not defending those accused of “violent crime.”
