Media tries to pin ailing illegal alien’s death on CBP

Daily Caller: The media is subtly pinning another death on U.S. Customs and Border Protection, despite the fact that the man who died in their custody Monday had an irreversible degenerative disease.

According to a statement from CBP, a 45-year-old Mexican man was taken into custody in early February and was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and congestive heart failure. The man died after spending most of his time in custody in the hospital.

Cirrhosis is a degenerative liver disease and in its advanced stages can only be treated by a transplant. CBP says the official cause of death is unknown.

Media outlets ran headlines suggesting the man died because he was taken into custody and immediately tied the incident to the recent deaths of two children in Border Patrol custody.

“Man dies in Border Patrol custody,” CNN’s headline about the story read, not noting until the fourth paragraph the man’s underlying medical conditions.

“Mexican national dies in Border Patrol custody after apprehension for ‘illegal reentry,’” said The Washington Post, immediately mentioning the deaths of the two children and claiming the man’s death is “likely to raise fresh questions.”  MORE

  1. He had that rare 24 hour cirrhosis from not cleaning the ICE internment camps.

    Obviously, another fine working contributor to our society who was not going to get on welfare and be a burden to our system at all.

  2. He’s mexican.
    My headline says “Mexico dumps chronically ill patient.”
    Send Mexico any medical bills for his care.
    And maybe ask mikey obama about dumping patients. He knows all about that.
    “Maybe he should direct his efforts to the hospital his wife Michelle works for, as it appears the University of Chicago Medical Center “steers patients who don’t have private insurance — primarily poor, black people — to other health care facilities.”
