Irvin Cruz-Nape
Irvin Cruz-Nape, 44, was held at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center and released on bond in February, and his family said he had lived in Montclair or Ontario for more than 20 years with his four children. His family told advocates that he complained of chest pains and symptoms consistent with a heart attack while in custody and that he was denied medical treatment. He died on March 4, 2026, after his release, and the family's attorney, Madaleine Behr, says the family is awaiting autopsy results and has not been able to learn what treatment he received. The Department of Homeland Security says he was released on February 13 and that he declined a sick call during detention; the circumstances of his medical care remain disputed.
Cause of death, as reported: Cause not yet determined (disputed; neglect alleged). His family says he had chest pains and symptoms consistent with a heart attack and was denied medical treatment, while DHS says he refused a sick call, and his family's attorney, Madaleine Behr, says the family cannot learn what care he received and is awaiting autopsy results.
