Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias, a lawful US permanent resident, died in ICE custody in Laredo, Texas, on Saturday, with his daughter alleging that detention staff withheld his medication while the agency maintains that he received proper medical care.
The 56-year-old Mexican national had been held since 26 June, when immigration officers detained him returning to Texas from Mexico. ICE alleges that he obtained his legal status fraudulently, a claim his daughter disputes.
