In Texas, several prisoners at an ICE jail on the Fort Bliss military base have testified they heard Cuban immigrant Geraldo Lunas Campos pleading for medication shortly before guards tackled him to the ground. One of the witnesses said in a sworn court declaration he heard a guard tell Lunas Campos, “Shut up or we’re going to make you faint.” He added, “The last thing I heard was Geraldo speak in a voice that sounded like he couldn’t breathe. He said, 'Let go of me. You're asphyxiating me.’” ICE claimed the 55-year-old father of four died while staff were attempting to save him after he attempted suicide, but an autopsy found Campos died from asphyxiation due to neck and torso compression. And the Associated Press reports a witness saw Lunas Campos handcuffed as at least five guards held him down while one put an arm around his neck and squeezed until he was unconscious.
