died of medical distress
Isn't that how everyone dies?
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.
Quite frankly, Mr Perkins, if he wasn't dead, I'd have him deported
That's a load-bearing "recent" in your first quote, it's doing some world-record heavy lifting.
I am suddenly overwhelmed with concern for all those ICE mooks who might harm themselves.
They harmed and killed him to prevent him from harming himself? Am I the only one who thinks that this is a rather lame excuse?
Harks back to the Viet Nam war. We had to destroy the village to save the village. I believe this is the one where the Pulitzer prize winning photo of the naked little girl running with massive burns from napalm happened.
Mai Lai massacre.
I think that was entirely separate from the napalm girl, but the fact that over 50 years on from the fact we can still think of so many such cases in common memory that we're mixing them up is telling.
No
ok they killed him to keep him from harming himself???
"Quick guys, he's harming himself! That's OUR job!"
So if my fist spontaneously uses force against a fascist's face, it's legal? Oh wait, I forgot, laws only apply to the people who don't like fascists now.
It is incredible how many transparently bullshit euphemisms they are coming up with
They failed miserably
