UPDATE! Since the recording of this video, the medical examiner's office ruled Mr. Geraldo Lunas Campos' death a homicide. The Department of Homeland Security originally said his death was due to "medical distress," then said he died while guards were trying to save him from killing himself. Mr. Campos' daughter got a recording of a conversation with staff in the medical examiner's office that they were preparing to rule his death a homicide. It's good she got this recording. The news might look very different today if she hadn't.
