TL;DR Summary

Two detainees died within two weeks at ICE’s Camp East Montana detention facility in El Paso, Texas. Victor Diaz, 36, born in Nicaragua, was found unconscious on Jan 14 and ICE says he died of a presumed suicide as the official cause remains under investigation; Diaz had been detained after a removal order. Earlier, Geraldo Lunas Campos, 55, from Cuba, died Jan 3 amid conflicting claims that guards restrained him, though DHS says Campos attempted suicide and resisted. The camp sits on Fort Bliss and the incidents come amid ongoing scrutiny of ICE detention conditions and a year with multiple custody deaths.
