follow-up on the death of hiu lui ng

More on the case of 34-year-old Hiu Lui Ng, the computer engineer who died in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this month, of complications of cancer and a fractured spine: Aftermath of an Immigrant’s Death in Detention. He was repeatedly denied medical attention, despite his complaints of extreme back pain and a progressive inability to walk. That's absolutely outrageous.

Ng's relatives have established a temporary fund for donations for his widow and children. Donors could make checks payable to the Ng Family Fund, Account No. 825-31181, and mail them to:

Hiu Lui Ng Family Fund

100 Campus Drive, Third Floor
Florham Park, N.J. 07932
