Martin Vargas had been dealing with a coronavirus infection and other health problems when immigration officials told his attorney they were considering releasing him from the Adelanto Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center. Advertisement“It’s very concerning, this timeline where ICE releases him three days before he dies,” Bansal said in an interview. Martin Vargas died three days after being released from the Adelanto ICE processing center. Meanwhile, she said, he was actually in a hospital, and with his health deteriorating, ICE released custody of him without telling her. They pointed to the case of Jose Ibarra, who also died soon after being released in 2019 from the Adelanto facility.
