Federal authorities have confirmed two Salvadoran migrants died over the weekend after being apprehended along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Jonathan Alberto"Johana" Medina Leon, a 25-year-old trans woman, crossed legally through a U.S. port of entry in El Paso, Texas and was later taken to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center, the agency said Monday.
"This is yet another unfortunate example of an alien who enters the United States with an untreated, unscreened medical condition," said Corey Price, an ICE field office director in El Paso."There is a crisis at our southern border with a mass influx of aliens lured by the lies of human smugglers who profit without regard for human life or well-being.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection also announced the death of an unidentified 33-year-old Salvadoran man who suffered a seizure moments after the Border Patrol apprehended him in Roma, Texas on Sunday. Following the deaths, immigrant advocates renewed calls for better treatment of those in custody and demanded detainees have options for supervised release when necessary.
