Cuban man’s death at El Paso tent camp was result of “spontaneous use of force,” ICE says

His death is the first homicide in ICE custody in recent history
Press [X] to doubt.
ICE officials wrote in that report that while detained at Camp East Montana, Lunas Campos received “regular” medical evaluations
Press [X] to doubt.
Lunas Campos’ death “is still an active investigation, and more details are forthcoming,” the spokesperson said.
Translation: This is the least-damaging version we can use as an explanation, given the facts that the public currently knows. However, we reserve the right to change our story if additional information get leaked.
The federal government tried to deport the six detainees who witnessed the final moments of Lunas Campos.
The actions of a totally innocent bureaucracy, definitely not panicking ...
The whereabouts of those witnesses are currently unclear
Yeah, I'm going to guess it's not anyplace good.
Only after the [public] medical examiner advised his family that it might be a homicide did ICE officials allege a suicide attempt. [...] Eleven days after Lunas Campos’ death, 36-year-old Victor Manuel Diaz marked the facility’s third fatality. ICE sent Diaz to a U.S. Army hospital rather than the local medical examiner, where a military spokesperson said that the agency would not make his autopsy public.
So there's an ongoing cover-up in this third [known] death, got it.
Fuck ICE.
