    Family recounts horror after Costa Rican man deported in vegetative state

    Much of what happened to #Randall #Gamboa #Esquivel, 52, over his last weeks in federal custody in Texas remains a mystery to his family

    In December of 2024, Gamboa crossed the US-Mexico border
    but was swiftly detained by US immigration authorities for re-entering American soil unlawfully,
    which is considered a felony.

    Gamboa was held at two different detention facilities in south Texas.

    Nearly 10 months later, in September 2025,
    the US government flew the 52-year-old back to Costa Rica on an air ambulance in a vegetative state
    and a few weeks later he died.

    Much of what happened to Gamboa over his last weeks in federal custody in Texas remains a mystery to his family, Mata said.

    When the US government flew him back to Costa Rica, he was non-responsive,
    as detailed in US medical records shared with the Guardian.

    “When I saw my brother at the airport,
    I thought he had been tortured in some type of way
    because he was
    ill-nourished,
    had skin ulcers and dried blood on his body
    and had a strong odor,”
    Mata said in Spanish, pausing to take deep breaths.

    “Have you ever smelled a cadaver?

    That’s how my brother smelled when he was deported,” she said.

    The Guardian approached the Department of Homeland Security about Mata’s comment about torture but did not receive a response.

    Mata said that Gamboa at first spoke frequently with various family members while in ICE custody.
    -- But communication stopped abruptly on 12 June.

    That would be the last conversation between Gamboa and his family,
    although they didn’t know it at the time.

  14. #BirdFlu Has Now Been Discovered In Several Species Of #Texas Wild Mammals

    by Renee Raven
    Published: April 21, 2025

    "#AvianFlu, a.k.a. Bird Flu or HPAI, has recently been discovered in several species of wild mammals, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (#TPWD).

    Which Texas Animals Are Infected With Bird Flu?

    "This highly contagious pathogen has been found in several mammalian species, including #foxes, #raccoons, striped #skunks, and #DomesticCats.

    Where Has Bird Flu Been Found In Mammals In Texas?

    "#DeafSmith, #Hansford, #Lubbock, #Ochiltree, #Parmer, and #Randall Counties all had mammals test positive for bird flu. This will likely spread to other counties.

    What Impacts Will Bird Flu In Mammals Have?

    "Needless to say, this could cause a devastating impact on both wild and domesticated animals and birds, including pets and backyard chicken coops.

    How Are Mammals Becoming Infected With Bird Flu In Texas?

    "The wild mammals are primarily becoming infected through eating the corpses of birds that died from the flu (so outdoor #cats are at a high risk), however, mammal-to-mammal spread is possible."

  24. #NewAmpDay #NAD well… kinda. I bought my very first tube amp some weeks ago. The #Randall was dirt cheap (partly defective, a cold solder joint was the problem) and I fckn love it! An amp designed by Mike #Fortin and it really rips!
    Also the #ENGL #cab is new and was a pretty good deal.
    The whole setup is an overkill but I wanted to try out what is it like to play on a tube amp and have a proper cab.

    Anyway I’m happy that I pulled the trigger!
