A lawful permanent resident detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Texas died over the weekend, prompting public outcry about why he was detained in the first place.
Mexican citizen and U.S. green card recipient Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias died on Saturday while being held at ICE’s Rio Grande Processing Center in South Texas. Andrade-Covarrubias had been in detention since June after being taken into custody attempting to re-enter the United States from Mexico, where U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers encountered him.
