By Elizabeth Wolfe, Danya Gainor, CNN (CNN) — Earlier this month, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced a Cuban migrant had died at a Texas detention camp after experiencing “medical distress,” giving little detail of what led up to his final moments.
A Cuban migrant held in solitary confinement at an immigration detention facility in Texas died after guards held him down, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday that ruled the death a homicide.
Cuban migrant Geraldo Lunas Campos was held in solitary confinement at an immigration detention facility in Texas and died after guards held him down and stopped his breathing, according to an autopsy.
Federal authorities have claimed that the 55-year-old’s death was the result of a suicide, but a witness has alleged he saw guards pinning and choking the man.
The report deeming an ICE detainee’s death in Texas a homicide comes the same day that a federal judge temporarily barred the deportation of two witnesses.
