- In a Democracy Now! exclusive, we look at the case of an undocumented
Guatemalan national previously sickened in an immigration jail and now detained
in the latest round of controversial raids. Angel Rosa is recovering from a
gangrene infection of his scrotum, which he says began while he was held in a
detention center in Utah. Rosa’s family says he faces almost certain death if he
is deported despite a request for humanitarian relief. We are joined by three
guests: Rosa’s daughter, Lorena Rosa, an 18-year-old high school senior who has
played a key role in nursing her father back to health; Mark Reid, senior
paralegal at the Thomas Rome Law Group in Hartford, Connecticut, who has helped
Rosa’s family with his immigration and asylum claims, and played a role in
stopping his deportation so far; and Renée Feltz, Democracy Now! criminal
justice correspondent and former producer, who has spent more than a decade
reporting on immigrant detention centers.
