Man Who Died in ICE Custody in Texas Was Denied Medicine, Daughter Says

Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias, a Dallas man, died while in ICE custody at a Laredo, Texas, immigration center after being detained since June. His daughter claims he was denied necessary medicine, although immigration officials assert he received proper medical care. While the man was a lawful permanent resident, ICE alleges he obtained this status fraudulently by failing to disclose a 2004 theft arrest. His daughter disputes these claims regarding the fraudulent nature of his legal status.
