Guardian reporting reveals confusing and contradictory events surrounding death of Abelardo Avellaneda Delgado
A 68-year-old Mexican-born man has become the first Ice detainee in at least a decade to die while being transported from a local jail to a federal detention center, and experts have warned there will likely be more such deaths amid the current administration’s “mass deportation” push across the US.
Abelardo Avellaneda Delgado’s exact cause of death remains under investigation, according to Ice, but the Guardian’s reporting reveals a confusing and at times contradictory series of events surrounding the incident.
The death occurred as private companies with little to no oversight are increasingly tasked with transporting more immigration detainees across the US, in pursuit of the Trump administration’s recently-announced target of arresting 3,000 people a day.
Guardian claims this is the first death while transporting from jail to federal detention. It does not mention that 10 have already died in this year alone, more than any other year and we’re only half way in.

Know your rights:
If someone in a mask tries to break into my house you’re damn sure I’m gonna resist.
These aren’t arrests. They’re kidnappings. Arrests are done by law enforcement displaying badges and names. Kidnappings are done by thugs in dark clothing wearing masks.
Fuck ICE.
