U.S. Deports Survivor of 2019 Massacre in El Paso, TX; ICE Reports 2nd COVID Prisoner Death Since Oct.

HeadlineFeb 01, 2021

In more immigration news, a survivor of the 2019 mass shooting at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart was deported to Mexico last week. The woman — identified only as Rosa — had been cooperating in the investigation into the shooting. Local outlets report she was apprehended after a traffic stop for a broken brake light.

In Georgia, BuzzFeed reports a 57-year-old man from Mexico has died after contracting COVID-19. The man had been imprisoned at Stewart Detention Center. He’s at least the second person to die in ICE custody since October. Twenty-one people died in ICE custody last fiscal year, which ended in September — the highest number since 2005.
