When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the Jan. 3 death of detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp, the agency said staff observed him in distress, and it gave no cause of death.
An employee of El Paso Countys Office of the Medical Examiner told Lunas Camposs daughter this week that, subject to results of a toxicology report, the office is likely to classify the death as a homicide, according to a recording of the conversation.
In the recording, which the daughter shared with The Washington Post, the employee said a doctor there is listing the preliminary cause of death as asphyxia due to neck and chest compression, which means Lunas Campos did not get enough oxygen because of pressure on his neck and chest. Pending the results of a toxicology report, the staffer said on the recording, our doctor is believing that were going to be listing the manner of death as homicide.

You can bet your life there have been so many more.
Just when I thought I couldn't get more disgusted.

Renee Nicole Good was notable as being a blonde white US citizen mom of 3. Not even all that can save you.
