Luis Campos
Luis Campos, a Cuban migrant, died in 2026 while held in solitary confinement at an immigration detention facility in Texas. He became unresponsive while officers were physically restraining him, according to the account in Solitary Watch. The El Paso County Medical Examiner's Office ruled his death a homicide, citing abrasions on his chest and knees. DHS first said he was in distress, then said he had attempted suicide and resisted guards; the autopsy findings were said not to support that account.
Cause of death, as reported: Killed by staff (disputed). The El Paso County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide, citing abrasions on his chest and knees that indicated a struggle, and the autopsy does not support the Department of Homeland Security's account that he attempted suicide.
Reported by: El Paso County Medical Examiner's Office (medical examiner or coroner); Department of Homeland Security (the agency that held him).
