44-year-old Cuban man with history of heart attacks rushed to ER, guard calls him a criminal while he receives emergency care
December 31, 2025·Location: El Paso, TX
Country of origin: Cuba
Enrique R., a 44-year-old Cuban man with a history of heart attacks, experienced worsening chest pain at Camp East Montana on December 31, 2025. Despite informing guards of his cardiac history, they initially ignored him. Only after he banged on the door and said 'if I died it would be their fault' was he rushed out. At the hospital, he spent 12 hours in the emergency room with cuffs on his wrists and ankles. A guard told him he was 'a criminal' who did not 'deserve to be seen by a doctor.' He was diagnosed with a heart infection requiring cardiologist follow-up, but Camp East Montana never took him for the referral. He continued to report chest pain and high blood pressure with all requests denied.
