HuffPost
"ICE can deny wrongdoing, but the reality remains the same: Alberto Gutierrez Reyes died while in their custody," Los Angeles City Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez told HuffPost.
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.
