Cuban immigrant’s death in ICE custody ruled homicide

A Cuban migrant, Geraldo Lunas Campos, died in solitary confinement at a Texas immigration detention facility after guards restrained him, leading to asphyxia, as determined by an autopsy ruling the death a homicide. Initially claimed by ICE to be a suicide attempt, witnesses reported he was handcuffed and held down by multiple guards. Lunas Campos had a history of mental health issues and previous criminal convictions, including child sex offenses. The case raises questions about accountability, as it occurred on an Army base and may limit jurisdiction for investigation.
