We are heartbroken by the passing of Emmanuel Damas in ICE custody.

We do not have any information on Mr. Damas’ specific case at this time beyond that which has been publicly reported, but we do know ICE custody.

This is the worst case scenario occurring at almost all turns.

- Tased and struck over misunderstanding
- Stays in jail for a year because of slow wheel of justice and ICE fears
- PD screws up in releasing him
- Border Patrol release catastrophically screwed up
- PD blows off missing persons report

We’re in court challenging ICE’s denial of access to legal counsel to people held at the detention center cruelly dubbed β€œAlligator Alcatraz."

Access to an attorney is a right, not a privilege.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.
