Lourdes Cristina Pacheco shows a picture of her son Luis Ugalde-Pacheco, 28, on her phone at her home in Romeoville, Ill., outside Chicago. He lost about 70 pounds after being diagnosed with cancer, she said.
But their efforts shifted abruptly this week when they learned that ICE planned to deport him to Mexico, which apparently happened on Friday, though the immigration agency did not confirm that. “I feel helpless, I feel desperation,” Pacheco said in Spanish. “What did I do to God? What did I do in life? Why did it have to be my son?”
The report found that those detained with complex medical conditions experienced delays in getting referrals for medical care from specialists, which typically have to be approved by an official in Washington, D.C., Long said. Ugalde-Pacheco, who is the father of two young children, was diagnosed with cancer while still in the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections following his conviction in Will County. On Tuesday — a month after he was placed in ICE detention — he saw an oncologist, who told him he has six months to live, said his attorney, Amina Najib.
“It serves our government if they can get him out of detention as quickly as possible because then he’s not a liability anymore. Right now he is,” Najib said.
Narcissists Never .. Wake Up to What .. Their Doing ..
This is heartless and cruel!
Yea.....abusing a woman has serious repercussions in the US.
Im sure his new country has good health care. All I hear is about how awful the American system is, so he's probably better off.
Odd how you left the 'convicted felon' part of his story out of the tweet.
Thanks for updates Los Angeles Times
