A Honduran father separated from his wife and child suffered a breakdown at a Texas jail and killed himself in a padded cell last month, according to Border Patrol agents and an incident report filed by sheriffs deputies.
The death of Marco Antonio Muñoz, 39, has not been publicly disclosed by the Department of Homeland Security, and did not appear in any local news accounts. But according to a copy of a sheriffs department report obtained by The Washington Post, Muñoz was found on the floor of his cell May 13 in a pool of blood with an item of clothing twisted around his neck.
Starr County sheriffs deputies recorded the incident as a suicide in custody.
Muñozs death occurred not long after the Trump administration began implementing its zero tolerance crackdown on illegal migration, measures that include separating parents from their children and the threat of criminal prosecution for anyone who enters the United States unlawfully.

And as far as these children go, Trump is creating future terrorists.

(7,634 posts)It says he was found dead in his cell with an article of clothing around his neck but also in a pool of blood.
If he hung himself, how come he was in a pool of blood ?

This must be stopped now!
