华盛顿8月12日路透电 —— 特朗普政府称，一名7月被关押在美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）位于新泽西州纽瓦克市拘留中心的危地马拉移民突发疾病，经住院治疗后死亡。
美国国土安全部（ICE隶属于该部门）周三在一份电子邮件声明中表示，何塞·查翁-拉克松于7月18日在德莱尼厅拘留中心被ICE拘留，次日突发疾病。

国土安全部称，一名护士接到突发疾病报告后，“目睹查翁-拉克松出现类似癫痫发作的症状”，并补充称医护人员随即被召集，查翁-拉克松被送往医院。
国土安全部表示，查翁-拉克松“于7月22日被解除ICE拘留”，但未就此提供更多细节。该部门的声明未提及查翁-拉克松的死亡时间。
纽瓦克市的德莱尼厅拘留中心此前已遭到人权倡导者和民主党议员的审查：此前萨尔瓦多移民埃德温·洛佩斯-科尔内霍和海地移民让·威尔逊·布鲁图斯在ICE拘留期间死亡。这名萨尔瓦多移民本月因突发疾病去世，而海地移民则于去年12月死亡。

国土安全部称，ICE并未接到查翁-拉克松死亡的通知，因为“个人离开拘留数周后死亡，ICE无需承担责任”。
美国民主党众议员罗布·梅嫩德斯表示，他收到了关于查翁-拉克松死亡的相互矛盾的信息，并补充称他在8月3日的监督访问中前往了该ICE拘留中心。
自唐纳德·特朗普去年1月就职以来，全国范围内已有超过50人在ICE拘留期间死亡。维权组织多次对拘留中心的医疗护理和生活条件表示担忧。
ICE称，被拘留者获得了适当的医疗护理。
该机构一直是特朗普移民打击政策的执行者。这位共和党总统称，该打击政策旨在改善国内安全。
维权组织表示，该移民打击政策违反了言论自由和正当程序权利，制造了不安全的环境，尤其对少数族裔群体造成影响，后者已对种族 profiling 问题表示担忧。

WASHINGTON, Aug 12 (Reuters) – An immigrant from Guatemala who was taken to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, in July experienced a medical emergency and died after hospitalization, President Donald Trump’s administration said.
Jose Chajon-Raxon was detained by ICE at the Delaney Hall detention facility on July 18 and experienced a medical emergency the next day, the Department of Homeland Security, of which ICE is a part, said in an emailed statement on Wednesday.

A nurse responded to the medical emergency and “witnessed Chajon-Raxon experiencing seizure-like activity,” the DHS said, adding medical workers were called and Chajon-Raxon was taken to a hospital.
The DHS said Chajon-Raxon was “released from ICE custody on July 22” but did not provide more details on that. The DHS statement did not mention when Chajon-Raxon died.
Delaney Hall in Newark has previously come under scrutiny from human rights advocates and Democrats following the deaths in ICE detention of a man from El Salvador named Edwin Lopez-Cornejo and another from Haiti named Jean Wilson Brutus. The Salvadoran man died this month after a medical emergency while the Haitian man died in December.

ICE was not notified of Chajon-Raxon’s death as it was “not responsible when an individual passes away weeks after leaving their custody,” the DHS said.
Democratic U.S. Representative Rob Menendez said he had been given conflicting information on Chajon-Raxon’s death, adding that he went to the ICE facility on August 3 in an oversight visit.
More than 50 people have died in ICE custody nationwide since President Donald Trump took office in January last year. Rights groups have repeatedly raised concerns about medical care and living conditions at the facilities.
ICE says detainees are given appropriate medical care.
The agency has been the face of Trump’s immigration crackdown. The Republican president says the crackdown aims to improve domestic security.
Rights groups say the crackdown has violated free speech and due process rights and created an unsafe environment, particularly for ethnic minorities, who have raised concerns about racial profiling.
