Federal authorities and witnesses have offered sharply different accounts of the death of a Cuban immigrant who died while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody at a federal detention facility in El Paso earlier this month.
The detainee, Geraldo Lunas Campos, 55, died on Jan. 3 at Camp East Montana, a large tent facility on the Fort Bliss military base. His family says witnesses saw guards choke him during a struggle, while the Department of Homeland Security has said he died by suicide after resisting officers' attempts to intervene.
