ICE facility in Louisiana reports its second death in 2 months
A second detainee has died in two months at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Louisiana where a recent investigation found insanitary conditions and problems with medical care. ICE says Mamuka Artmeladze was found unresponsive June 4 at Winn Correctional Center in Winnfield, Louisiana. Staff began lifesaving measures, he was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, and a doctor pronounced him dead less than an hour later. ICE said the cause of death is pending an autopsy. The 43-year-old native of the country of Georgia had been detained at the facility for nearly four months. On April 11, 49-year-old detainee Alejandro Cabrera Clemente was found unresponsive at Winn and died at a hospital. A coroner ruled he died of natural causes due to cardiovascular disease.
