This letter calls on the U.N. human rights expert to examine U.S. failure to conduct an independent investigation into Felipe’s death in CBP custody. The letter also calls attention to U.S. government failure to address the problem of migrants' deaths and lack of adequate medical care in immigration detention, including in ICE detention facilities.
