## Resource

A 55-year-old migrant detainee, Geraldo Lunas Campos, died in January at Camp East Montana after an autopsy ruled his death a homicide caused by asphyxia from neck and torso compression. His family filed a $1 million lawsuit alleging guards killed him and the facility operator failed to provide adequate mental health care or proper training. Witnesses dispute the official narrative, with one claiming he was choked, while DHS suggests he died during a self-harm struggle. Lunas Campos had a documented history of mental illness, including being found with a sheet around his neck just months before his death — a situation that prompted staff to consider a mental health upgrade, which never happened. The FBI’s preliminary findings indicate guards made contact with him during a struggle, applied restraints, and he later showed signs of medical distress. The facility’s operator, Acquisition Logistics, had its contract terminated by DHS in March. His death is part of a troubling trend — 20 fatalities in ICE custody this year, on pace to set a record — and his case has ignited national concern over how detainees with serious mental illness are treated in detention.
