Sickened by Gangrene in Utah Immigration Jail, Guatemalan Father Now Faces Deportation

"Democracy Now!" airs weekdays at 9 a.m. PT on KCET.

In a "Democracy Now!" exclusive, the program looks at the case of an undocumented Guatemalan national previously sickened in an immigration jail and now detained in the latest round of controversial raids. Angel Rosa is recovering from a gangrene infection of his scrotum, which he says began while he was held in a detention center in Utah. Rosa's family says he faces almost certain death if he is deported despite a request for humanitarian relief. "Democracy Now!" is joined by three guests: Rosa's daughter, Lorena Rosa, an 18-year-old high school senior who has played a key role in nursing her father back to health; Mark Reid, senior paralegal at the Thomas Rome Law Group in Hartford, Connecticut, who has helped Rosa's family with his immigration and asylum claims, and played a role in stopping his deportation so far; and Renée Feltz, "Democracy Now!" criminal justice correspondent and former producer, who has spent more than a decade reporting on immigrant detention centers.
