U.S. Deports Ángel Rosa, Undocumented Guatemalan Who Suffered Gangrene in Custody
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in an update to a story we've been following on Democracy Now!, an
undocumented Guatemalan man who was recovering from a gangrene infection
he contracted while in immigration custody has been deported. Ángel
Rosa, father of four U.S.-born children, says he was kept in a cell with
an overflowing toilet, prevented from showering and then placed in
solitary confinement. He contracted a gangrene infection which caused
his rectum to swell shut. Rosa was deported Wednesday, a day after
advocates and attorneys filed a medical neglect complaint now under
review by the Department of Homeland Security.
