In Texas, Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias, a 56-year-old Mexican man who was a lawful permanent resident, was found unresponsive in his cell at the Rio Grande Processing Center in Laredo on Saturday. He’s the seventh person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year and the second in Laredo alone. His daughter, a U.S. citizen, says the family learned of his death from the county medical examiner rather than federal officials. She said her father, who had heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, was denied his medications and ignored by medical staff when he complained of chest tightness and trouble breathing. The private prison company GEO Group runs the center.
