When Estefani Andrade spoke over video last Friday to her father, who was in an immigration detention center in Texas, he looked pale and unwell, she said. The next day, he was found unconscious in his cell, and she was later told he died. The man, Emiliano Andrade-Covarrubias, who had a heart condition, diabetes and high blood pressure, had complained to his daughter for months about the lack of medical care at the Rio Grande Processing Center, a detention center in the border city of Laredo, Texas, Andrade said. Cuellar also said that the legal status of Andrade-Covarrubias was unclear. Immigration officials described him to Cuellar as a "citizen of Mexico," he said. But in conversations with the man's family and Mexican consulate officials, Cuellar was told that the man was a legal U.S. resident.
Donald Trump took time out of a campaign rally in Kansas to praise Ted Nugent, a MAGA rocker who has boasted and sung about having sex with underage girls. Nugent joined the 80-year-old president at a rally in Wichita on Monday night to show support for Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, who is trailing Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton in multiple polls with the Nov. 3 midterms just weeks away. Toward the end of his speech, Trump told the crowd he was happy he had "got to watch" the 77-year-old rocker on the same stage the previous night while making no mention of the sordid history about the singer whose 1981 song "Jailbait" describes him wanting to commit statutory rape on a 13-year-old girl.
President Donald Trump used an antisemitic slur Monday in defending Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., after an article said he sued hundreds of patients over unpaid debts when he was a practicing physician. Speaking at a campaign rally in Kansas, Trump said the reporting made Marshall, who is not Jewish, out to be "some kind of a shylock-type guy," using a term widely recognized as offensive toward Jewish people. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump's remarks.
