A Cancer Diagnosis and an ICE Detention: Where America's Humanity Fades Away Loreto Javar, a 76 year old Filipino man living in Tacoma, Washington, with permanent US residency and stage four prostate cancer, is facing a humanitarian crisis.
At the center of this story is not his advanced cancer diagnosis but rather ICE's decision to detain him despite his medical condition.
Javar has lived in the US for over 30 years, paying taxes, working, and contributing to society as a responsible resident.
