00:05A Cuban immigrant who was detained by ICE died on January 3rd while in federal custody.
00:10At Camp East Montana, an immigration facility on the Fort Bliss military base in El Paso.
00:14His family...
00:15...claimed an illegal filing submitted Tuesday that another detainee had witnessed Campos being choked to death by guards.
00:20While a different witness saw him struggle with officers just before he died.
00:23On January 9th, ICE claimed that he had...
00:25...had died after experiencing medical distress.
00:27But a DHS official has since stated that Campos died by suicide.
00:30The official told the New York Times that Campos had resisted interventions from security staff, then stopped...
00:35...breathing in lost consciousness during the ensuing struggle.
00:37The family has asked a court to block the deportation of the two women.
00:40...witnesses who were both given deportation notices after the incident occurred.
00:43An employee of the El Paso medical...
00:45...examiner's office allegedly told the family that it planned to list the manner of death as a homicide in a conversation...
00:50...that was reportedly recorded.
00:51In the recording, the employee can be heard saying that the doctor is listing the preliminary...
00:55...laws of death as asphyxia due to neck and chest compression.
00:57The medical examiner's office told the Times that an autopsy...
01:00...report was pending and declined to comment on the recording.
01:02Campos is the third detainee who has died at Camp East Montana...
01:05...since the facility opened in August.
01:07Several human rights groups have urged the government to close the camp, citing a law...
01:10...of alarming conditions of confinement and repeated instances of coercion, physical force, and threats against immigrants.
01:15The DHS responded by stating that these claims were categorically false, adding that ensuring the safety, security...
01:20...and well-being of individuals in federal custody is a top priority at ICE.
01:23The mother of Campos's children...
01:25...and said he had told her on the phone a week before he died that there was abuse, a lack of food, and inadequate medical care.
01:30...for detainees at the facility.
01:31One of the witnesses stated that they heard Campos repeatedly telling the guards...
01:35...to breathe in Spanish.
01:36The family noted in court documents that the timing of the witnesses' deportation orders...
01:40...and this is the inference that the federal government is attempting to make them unavailable as witnesses in the anticipated lawsuit.
01:45...a long-term care of the POS of the family, by the POS of the past...
01:47...but there are several arguments that the effort died by REGISVENS...
01:48...to view.
01:49And the government also asked a solution for the migration of theamel nascent station.
01:51That said there are some ways that the lead will not be avoided.
01:52That you have to be involved in the pilot process.
01:53The pilot is the pilot was a bill, but there are some ways that the service was announced.
01:54The pilot was taken on the pilot, and the pilot – a pilot process was accounted for.
01:55The pilot was taken on the pilot, and the pilot was taken on the pilot.
01:57...and this was a multi-second pilot crew test.
01:58The pilot was taken on the pilot to the pilot.
01:59...and this was taken on the pilot process.
02:00It was fatal and it wasn't for many silzi-pulled.
