AURORA, Colo. — The family of a Nicaraguan man who died in 2022 while being held at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Aurora has filed a wrongful death lawsuit. Melvin Ariel Calero-Mendoza died on October 13, 2022. He leaves behind two children and his partner, Dorling.
The lawsuit describes the medical care at ACDF as 'reckless, dangerous, and deficient.' It asserts his death is part of a disturbing pattern of inadequate medical care and detainee deaths at the Aurora facility. “What we can see here, and at the detention centers across the board where ICE is holding asylum seekers and other individuals, is that it's by design.
