This is textbook institutional neglect, weaponized and then covered up.

Detainees reported he complained of trouble breathing and feeling overheated. Medical staff allegedly did not respond until he was already unresponsive.

ICE’s own release admits the medical conditions but stonewalls the actual cause of death. His family is left in limbo, gaslit by an apparatus that operates with total impunity while taxpayer dollars subsidize private prison margins.

ICE: "He died of his guilty conscience, knowing we were absolutely correct to detain him" /s

The death is intentional. You don't run brutal concentration camps because you respect life.

No doubt they'll find some way to describe it as another unfortunate suicide.
