Earlier today at the Consulate of Mexico in Los Angeles, the family of Jose Guadalupe Ramos-Solano was asked to share some words about his recent passing last Wednesday while in custody at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. This is currently the 14th ICE custody death that we know of. His wife, Antonia Tobar, spoke briefly in Spanish about the inhumane and painful conditions of her late husband’s death. According to the family’s lawyer, they have launched a private investigation into the death of Ramos-Solano with the help of the Mexican Consulate. 🎥: Izzy Ramirez
