Cartoonist Michael de Adder has been fired over a controversial drawing posted on his Twitter account June 26.
Adder's drawing shows President Donald Trump standing beside a golf car, with a golf club in his hand, looking down at the bodies of father and daughter Oscar Alberto Martinez Ramirez, 25, and his 23-month-old daughter, Angie Valeria, lying face down at the banks of the Rio Grande.
The now iconic photo has become the centerpiece of the immigration debate, and the growing outrage of America's treatment of asylum-seekers.
The cartoonist announced his termination via Twitter.
"The highs and lows of cartooning," he wrote. "Today I was just let go from all newspapers in New Brunswick."
According to NBC news, Wes Tyrell, President of the Association of Canadian Cartoonists, claimed de Adder was fired after 17 years with Brunswick News Inc. because Donald Trump was a "taboo subject" for the company.
