An undocumented Cuban national awaiting deportation died earlier this week after being held at a Georgia detention center with a history of poor conditions, making him the second immigrant detainee to pass away in as many months, authorities said.
Yulio Castro-Garrido was diagnosed with pneumonia while being held at the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Ga. on Jan. 7, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency said in a statement Wednesday night.
"After diagnosis, Mr. Castro initially resisted medical treatment which caused his condition to worsen," ICE officials said.
After his health deteriorated, the 33-year-old immigrant was transported to a hospital in Albany, Ga., where he was placed on a ventilator on Jan. 9, according to ICE.
