华盛顿8月4日路透电 — 一名在新泽西州美国移民海关执法局拘留中心死亡的萨尔瓦多男子的家属指控其在拘留期间遭遇医疗过失，并要求对其死亡展开独立调查。
移民海关执法局周一表示，埃德温·洛佩斯-科内霍当时被关押在德莱尼霍尔拘留所，在遭遇该机构所称的医疗紧急情况后，于周六被新泽西州纽瓦克大学医院的医护人员宣布死亡。

在周二的新闻发布会上，洛佩斯-科内霍的家属表示，他患有高血压、糖尿病和癫痫等多种基础疾病，需要依靠多种药物来控制病情。
他的母亲玛丽亚·科内霍称，儿子在去世前一天给她打电话，说自己半张脸和一只手臂失去了知觉。
“我的儿子需要医疗救助，但他没有得到，”他的母亲用西班牙语说道。他12岁的女儿还指控父亲被拒绝给药，并且在拘留期间体重大幅下降。
洛佩斯-科内霍的死亡正值美国移民拘留设施的条件受到广泛审查之际。自唐纳德·特朗普总统去年1月就职以来，全国范围内已有超过50人在移民海关执法局拘留所死亡，而人权组织一再对这些设施的医疗护理和生活条件表示担忧。

移民海关执法局表示，洛佩斯-科内霍获得了适当的医疗护理，并接受过医疗专业人员的诊治。
“当洛佩斯-科内霍在移民海关执法局拘留期间遭遇医疗紧急情况时，GEO拘留所的工作人员和医护人员立即做出响应，并拨打911呼叫急救医疗服务。官方死因仍需进一步的医学检查，”移民海关执法局在周一的一份声明中表示。
当被问及洛佩斯-科内霍家属的言论时，该机构重申了这一声明。
调查
尽管家属要求对这起死亡事件展开独立调查，但新泽西州州长米基·谢里尔表示，她的政府在“对该拘留所进行全面健康检查的努力中持续遭遇阻挠”。
移民海关执法局驳斥了有关拘留所条件恶劣的报道，并坚称其高度重视被拘留者的安全与健康。

移民海关执法局一直是特朗普移民打击和驱逐行动的核心，人权组织谴责这些行动违反了言论自由和正当程序权利。
人权倡导者还表示，这场打击行动造成了不安全的环境，尤其是对那些提出种族 profiling担忧的少数族裔群体。
特朗普称其行动旨在改善国内安全。

- Summary
- ICE has been the face of Trump’s immigration crackdown
- Rights advocates have complained about ICE detention conditions
- ICE says it takes seriously the safety and health of detainees
- Over 50 ICE detention deaths reported since Trump took office
WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) – The family of a man from El Salvador, who died in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in New Jersey, alleged medical negligence during his custody and demanded an independent investigation into his death.
ICE said on Monday that Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, who was being held at the Delaney Hall detention facility, was pronounced dead on Saturday by medical personnel at University Hospital, in Newark, New Jersey, after suffering what the agency described as a medical emergency.

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Lopez-Cornejo’s family said he suffered from a number of underlying health conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes and epilepsy, and relied on several medications to keep those conditions under control.
His mother, Maria Cornejo, said he called a day before his death and told her he lost feeling in half his face and arm.
“My son needed medical attention, and he did not receive it,” his mother said in Spanish. His 12-year-old daughter also alleged he was denied medications and that he had lost a lot of weight in custody.
Lopez-Cornejo’s death comes amid broader scrutiny of conditions in U.S. immigration detention facilities. More than 50 people have died in ICE custody nationwide since President Donald Trump took office in January last year, while rights groups have repeatedly raised concerns about medical care and living conditions at the facilities.

ICE said Lopez-Cornejo received proper medical care and was seen by medical professionals.
“When Lopez-Cornejo experienced a medical emergency while in ICE custody, GEO facility staff and medical staff responded immediately and called 911 for emergency medical services. The official cause of death remains pending further medical examination,” ICE said in a statement on Monday.
The agency reiterated that statement when asked for comment on the remarks by Lopez-Cornejo’s family.
INSPECTION
While the family demanded an independent investigation into the death, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill said her administration continues to “face obstruction in our efforts to conduct a full health inspection of the facility.”
ICE has dismissed reports of poor conditions and maintained that it takes seriously the safety and health of detainees.

ICE has been at the center of Trump’s immigration crackdown and deportation drive that rights groups condemn as violating free speech and due process rights.
Human rights advocates also say the crackdown has created an unsafe environment, particularly for ethnic minorities who have raised concerns about racial profiling.
Trump says his actions aim to improve domestic security.
