Man Dies in ICE Custody in Texas; Daughter Says He Was Denied Medication, Officials Dispute It
Photo: The New York TimesA man identified as Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias has died in U.S. immigration detention in Texas, where he had been held at an immigration center in Laredo since June. His daughter says staff at the facility refused to give him his medications. Immigration officials say he received proper medical care. The facility is described as a jail run by the private company GEO Group. No cause of death was given in the reports.
Right-leaning outlets had not reported this story at the time of writing, while left-leaning and alternative / independent outlets had. The New York Times, on the left, leads with the daughter's claim that he was denied medicine and sets it beside the officials' statement that his care was proper. Truthout, an alternative outlet, leads with the death at a GEO Group-operated jail, names the man, and centers the daughter's account of withheld medication. Both carry her claim; the difference is the official response on the left and the private operator on the alternative side.
How the sides differ Left sources pair the daughter's medication claim with officials' denial; alternative sources stress the GEO Group operator; right sources have not covered the story.
