Yesterday morning, Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias was found dead a Laredo federal immigration facility.
He was 56, a Dallas resident, and father of three US citizens.
His daughter told us that his health problems were ignored by staff.

The targeting of journalists in the West Bank and Gaza has been consistent and explicit. Visible markings don't matter if the point is to suppress information and sunlight.
Wishing @Heidiphotos a full recovery, and hope this sparks some reflection among American media. We have been too silent as Palestinian journalists in particular faced similar violence or were killed.

Heidi is going to be okay, but her injuries are significantly worse than initially thought. It appears that she may have been stabbed. She’s getting ready for surgery.

“A 7-year-old agreed to voluntarily leave the country without a lawyer present to explain the legal consequences of the decision. In Arizona, an immigration judge ordered a 1-year-old baby appearing without a lawyer to file an asylum application.”

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. Story with @nancyayoussef theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Oscar Belgal is in solitary confinement at MDC after he was shot by ICE on Thursday.
His lawyers say he “urgently needs surgery.”
“A bullet remains lodged in his neck, the left side of his face is numb, and he can barely hear out of his left ear.”

New: Oscar Belgal's lawyers are still looking for him after he was shot by ICE yesterday in New York City.
He's a father of two: a one-year-old and a five-year-old.
ICE says he was sent out-of-state, but a judge just ruled he must be kept in NY or NJ.

The last public execution in America was in 1936. A young black man in Kentucky was hanged by a drunk executioner; a news story said "They Ate Hotdogs While a Man Died." Was such an embarrassment that the governor outlawed it 18 months later washingtonpost.com/politics/…
