The death of a 48-year-old man in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in San Bernardino County, California, has added to ongoing concerns about poor treatment and medical care in immigration facilities. Before his detention, Alberto Gutierrez Reyes lived in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles for more than two decades, Univision reported. Gutierrez Reyes, who was originally from Mexico, was held at the Adelanto detention center after his Jan. 9 arrest. ICE said that they sent him to Victor Valley Global Medical Center for evaluation on Feb. 25 after he experienced chest pain and shortness of breath, but he ultimately passed away around 1 a.m. on Feb. 27. Gutierrez Reyes’ wife has grieved the loss of her husband to multiple news outlets. She claims that he had diabetes and high cholesterol and that the detention center did not support his health issues. “We haven’t seen his body, we haven’t seen anything,” Patricia Martinez said in Spanish during an interview with Univision at a memorial. She also called for justice for her husband’s death.“He would say that he wasn’t feeling well. He wasn’t feeling well. When my son went to go see him Sunday, my son goes every Sunday, he would tell me, ‘Mom, dad’s skin is yellow. His face is yellow.’ Last week, the Sunday before, he told me, ‘Mom, his eyes are yellow,’” she told ABC7. Los Angeles City Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez, who represents Westlake and other areas in District 1, also faulted ICE and the Trump administration for Gutierrez Reyes’ death.“The Trump administration does not value human life. They are using our federal tax dollars to bankroll detention and a deadly deportation machine instead of funding healthcare, food, housing, education, and the systems that actually keep people alive,” she wrote in a statement on Saturday. “A system rooted in white supremacy and designed to cage, torture, neglect, and dehumanize human beings cannot be reformed. It must be abolished.”A press release from ICE denies wrongdoing. It also says that Gutierrez Reyes was sentenced to diversion in 2010 after being accused of inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant.“Comprehensive medical care is provided from the moment individuals arrive and throughout the entirety of their stay. All people in ICE custody receive medical, dental and mental health intake screenings within 12 hours of arriving at each detention facility; a full health assessment within 14 days of entering ICE custody or arrival at a facility; access to medical appointments; and 24-hour emergency care,” the statement said.“At no time during detention is a detained alien denied emergency care. This is the best healthcare than [sic] many aliens have received in their entire lives,” the statement continued.Hernandez told HuffPost on Wednesday that the health and safety of detained individuals are the sole responsibility of the federal government.“ICE can deny wrongdoing, but the reality remains the same: Alberto Gutierrez Reyes died while in their custody. This is now the ninth known death in ICE custody this year. That pattern alone demands scrutiny,” she said.“Regardless of immigration status or any allegations ICE may raise, Adelanto Detention Center does not get to decide who lives and who dies. A human being died on their watch, and Alberto’s family and the public deserve answers,” Hernandez continued.Gutierrez Reyes’ death has captured the attention of Mexico’s Office of Foreign Affairs.The office is demanding “an immediate and thorough investigation will be demanded regarding the conditions that led to the death of Mexican nationals in the custody of this authority, in order to determine responsibilities and ensure that such events do not recur,” according to a March 1 statement.A group of Adelanto detainees filed a class action lawsuit against the facility in January. One of the complaints in the lawsuit is the lack of medical care for those detained.HuffPost reached out to ICE and GEO Group, which operates ICE centers, for additional comment, but did not immediately hear back.
