  • There’s a little bit way down in the article.

    The mother and son had their routine call on April 3. Lucy Garzón remembers her son complaining of stomach pains and the poor quality of the jail’s food. He asked her to send money to his commissary account. Garzón-Rayo also said he’d received medical care for stomach issues.

    “[Brayan] told me: ‘Mother, it was weird. The doctor told the officer something, and he made a strange face, but they didn’t tell me anything,'” she recalled. Garzón-Rayo asked her, “Can we find out if there was a problem?”

    Then they eventually called to say he had attempted suicide by hanging himself, and was in the hospital likely to die.

    From those descriptions: At the bare minimum it was 100% negligence, possibly the slightly worse covering up negligence, or much worse covering up maltreatment. And I would lean towards the latter if I had to guess.



  • Did you mean something else by “this type of lawlessness”? I went back and reread several times and I cannot see another interpretation.

    “Immigrating illegally -> deport without due process” is the extremist angle. That’s lawlessness that no one should in good conscience support.

    I don’t see anyone saying that breaking the law should go unpunished, just that deportation is not an appropriate penalty especially when there are existing more appropriate penalties. That does not seem extreme to me.
