Man's Death in ICE Custody Set to Be Ruled a Homicide

It appears that ICE choked a 55-year-old Cuban immigrant to death in a Texas detention facility.

A medical examiner told Geraldo Lunas Campos’s family that, unless a toxicology report comes back with something, he will likely rule his death a homicide, according to a recording reviewed by The Washington Post. But the Department of Homeland Security claims that Lunas Campos died taking his own life.
