Cruz Nape reported having heart attack-like symptoms while in custody, but according to the Inland Coalition for Immigration Justice, they allege he was never given proper medical treatment.
ICE agents took Cruz Nape last Fall after being confused for another target. Despite not being their initial suspect, they took him anyway. He was soon transferred to Adelanto.
There are at least four deaths associated with the Adelanto ICE facility since the Trump administration took office. The most recent death occurred on January 27. Alberto Gutierrez died in ICE custody after his family says staff at the detention center denied his repeated requests for medical attention, according to reporting by L.A. TACO. Ismael Ayala-Uribe died in September. According to the family, he was also not given proper medical care.
