And in an update to a story we’ve been following on Democracy Now!, an undocumented Guatemalan man who was recovering from a gangrene infection he contracted while in immigration custody has been deported. Ángel Rosa, father of four U.S.-born children, says he was kept in a cell with an overflowing toilet, prevented from showering and then placed in solitary confinement. He contracted a gangrene infection which caused his rectum to swell shut. Rosa was deported Wednesday, a day after advocates and attorneys filed a medical neglect complaint now under review by the Department of Homeland Security.
