Venezuelan rapper Adonys Francisco Mata Martínez, known professionally as Adonys10 or AdonysX, has been in ICE custody for nearly three months. Now, from inside a Louisiana detention center, the artist is sounding an alarm over what he describes as overcrowding, inadequate food, illnesses spreading among detainees, and a lack of medical care.
The 2024 Red Bull Batallas Champion Mata is currently being held at River Correctional Center in Ferriday, Louisiana, according to accounts from his family and his own communications from detention. In a recent call and video shared through his social media accounts, he described conditions that he says are putting detainees' health at risk.
