Oberst Enzian“… a new cultural sensibility emerges in which killing the enemy of the state is an extension of play. More intimate, lurid, and leisurely forms of cruelty begin to take shape.”

The medical examiner in El Paso, Texas, has ruled that Geraldo Lunas Campos's death was, in fact, a homicide. Lunas Campos died Jan. 3 at the Camp East Montana site at Fort Bliss in El Paso. He's the one who ICE claimed was trying to commit suicide, so the staff at the facility restrained and ultimately killed him to stop him from killing himself. So even if he did want to commit suicide, that would only mean that he died anyway, but with more pain, less agency, and less dignity.
I'm curious what the consequences will be for the medical examiner, but regardless, I do know that there's no way this administration is going to take action to stop people from dying at disproportionate rates at Camp East Montana unless they're somehow forced to. Maybe the courts can do that, but it's just as likely that they can't or, if they can, that it won't be until after the camp has claimed even more lives.

A coalition of organizations in the Southwest is demanding the closure of Camp East Montana following three different deaths in custody there in recent months.
From the article:
Diaz died on Wednesday, Jan. 14, at Camp East Montana. He was pronounced deceased at 4:09 p.m., and his death was a presumed suicide, according to ICE. However, the official cause of his death remains under investigation.
The announcement of Diaz’s death comes just days after The Washington Post reported last week that 55-year-old Geraldo Lunas Campos’ death — the second detainee who died at the detention center — could be ruled as a homicide.
The coalition said that Lunas Campos “died from asphyxiation after guards choked him to death, and that federal authorities subsequently are threatening to deport key witnesses to the incident, raising grave concerns about accountability and efforts to suppress evidence of abuse at the facility.”
Additionally, Francisco Gaspar Cristobal Andres was the first detainee held at the Fort Bliss immigration facility to die. The 48-year-old man from Guatemala was taken to the hospital on Nov. 16 and died on Dec. 3 of “suspected natural causes.”
Nicaraguan immigrant Víctor Manuel Díaz has died in ICE custody at Fort Bill in El Paso, Texas.
ICE says that his death appears to be a suicide. He died at the same facility where Geraldo Lunas Campos also recently died from asphyxiation while held in a chokehold by officers who have said that they were trying to stop him from killing himself.
I don't know what the Department of Homeland Security thinks we're all supposed to make of the excuse that "It's not our fault if people keep dying in our custody because they're choosing to kill themselves." If suicide seems like a better option than living in your gulag, that's still on you.
And again, as a final insult, the ICE report refers to Díaz as an "illegal alien" and fails to spell his name correctly.
I haven't been actively keeping a running tally, but this is at least the third person who has died in ICE custody since the start of the year. That's in addition to the at least two people ICE agents have murdered on the street and various others they've injured, including with gunshot wounds.

Nicaraguan immigrant Victor Manuel Diaz found dead in a Texas detention facility
Federal officials say an immigrant from Nicaragua has been found dead at a Texas immigration detention facility. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents say 36-year-old Victor Manuel Diaz appears to have killed himself Wednesday at the Army's Fort Bill base in El Paso. Diaz was detained in Minnesota on January 6th and sent to Texas. He entered the U.S. in March 2024. Diaz was at the same detention facility where ICE says another detainee died as staff members tried to prevent him from killing himself. Local officials say that death appeared to be a homicide as the detainee was being restrained.
