ICE detainee's death ruled a homicide by medical examiner



The death of an immigrant detainee at an El Paso facility has been ruled a homicide, according to the final autopsy report obtained Thursday by NBC News.

In an email to NBC News on Thursday, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson stated that Lunas Campos had attempted to take his own life and that the security staff had “immediately intervened to save his life.”

“Campos violently resisted the security staff and continued to attempt to take his life,” the DHS email stated. “During the ensuing struggle, Campos stopped breathing and lost consciousness. Medical staff was immediately called and responded. After repeated attempts to resuscitate him, EMTs declared him deceased on the scene.”

We know lots about the two white US citizens that I.C.E. murdered in Minneapolis, but I'm having a hard time keep track of the people that have died "in detention." Nor can I find reliable data on numbers deported, or where they were deported to. Can't imagine why. It does seem to be policy to deport folks to wherever, regardless of from whence they came.

Seems to me this is shit we need to know to fight them more effectively.
