Description
Advocates said they are fighting to get more answers about why a man in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody died in 2022.
More than a year after 39-year-old Melvin Calero-Mendoza died, advocates are still wondering why it happened.
According to an autopsy report, a blood clot that killed Calero-Mendoza was likely linked to a foot injury. His family believes his death was probably preventable with medical care. That's why advocates filed a records request with ICE to learn more about why he didn't receive it.
