Elenilson Armando Coto Delgado, held by ICE for over six years after seeking asylum, suffered a medical emergency in late April. He feared imminent deportation to El Salvador and the notorious CECOT prison, where guards have reportedly tortured deportees. His family is now terrified he will be deported from the hospital while still recovering from a stroke. Coto Delgado's mother expressed her anguish, citing a lack of compassion and an environment of racism. She requested anonymity due to fear of retaliation from the U.S. and Salvadoran governments. Despite pending legal motions, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a stay on his deportation in January. The court has generally granted temporary stays in immigration cases since 2002, but this practice may be changing. The family believed he was to be deported from the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma, Washington. On April 30, Coto Delgado reported facial contortion, confusion, and pain, indicating a stroke. The article was produced by Capital & Main.
