ICE Arrests Transplant Patient and Cuts Off Life-Saving Meds

A kidney transplant recipient in Minnesota who was arrested by ICE has been denied access to life-saving medication for more than four days, according to his wife.

Carolina Rosario De Abreu told MPR News on Sunday that she had spoken on the phone with her husband, Javier Abreu-Vasquez, who said he has not been given his medication since he was brought into custody on Thursday.

Rosario De Abreu said her husband needs to take his anti-rejection pills every day in order to survive his kidney transplant.
