The Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that federal health officials cannot be sued over the death of an immigrant who died after being denied medical care while in immigrant detention. The case centers on the treatment of Francisco Castañeda, an immigrant from El Salvador. Castañeda was held in detention for eleven months and repeatedly requested a biopsy of his groin, but doctors with the US Public Health Service refused the procedure. He later died at the age of thirty-six. Gabriel Eber of the American Civil Liberties Union said, “With today’s decision, the Supreme Court has unfortunately closed the door on an important avenue of accountability for the gross mistreatment that immigration detainees across the country have suffered.”
