Family calls for release of ill father from ICE custody Nicole Acevedo
The family of a Latino father of three is worried that his health condition will worsen if he remains in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.
Their calls intensified this week after Edward Alonso-Castillo, 48, a small-business owner in New York City who has a standing order of removal against him following several charges, was hospitalized with severe chest pains while in ICE custody.
According to Make The Road New York, he has reported feeling some of the symptoms he experienced a few years ago when he had a stroke.
