Man dies after stint at detention facility

Immigrant advocates say a man died after he was held at California's biggest detention facility in Adelanto.

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights said 27-year-old Jose Bucio collapsed on his way to an immigration court hearing in February and was taken to a hospital by detention officials and later went into a coma.

The group will hold a press conference tomorrow to seek information from U.S. and detention officials about his death.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement says Bucio was taken into custody from state prison following a conviction for fleeing a traffic officer while driving recklessly. The agency says he was held in Adelanto and released on Feb. 22 "with respect to humanitarian concerns."

The report comes as the city of Adelanto has moved to end its contract with immigration authorities and a private prison company for the facility in the midst of complaints about conditions.
