BREAKING🚨 A 78-year-old priest was just released from ICE custody—but he could no longer walk, so two other detainees had to carry him out. Edward Nalwamba, a retired Anglican priest, has lived in Colorado for more than two decades. A federal judge's order forced ICE to release him from their privately run detention center in Aurora. But he could not walk out, he was too weak. Staff brought him toward the exit in a wheelchair, then refused to let him take it past the gate, he told CBS Colorado. Two other men who were being released that day picked him up and carried him to a friend's truck. "They just hoisted me in their hands and began walking with me half a mile up to the vehicle," he said. Senator John Hickenlooper's staff had visited the jail that same day and asked the company that runs it, GEO Group, for two things: a wheelchair to get him to his ride and a phone call to his caretakers. "GEO staff assured us they would do both. They failed to deliver on either," Hickenlooper wrote. "No phone call. No wheelchair. No human decency." When ICE arrested him in September 2025, his lawyer says, he was a healthy man who exercised and could do 15 to 20 push-ups. He worked as a home health aide, caring for men with developmental disabilities. In detention he caught pneumonia, lost more than 30 pounds and ended up in a wheelchair. He says that each of the three times he was taken to see a doctor, he was shackled at the feet, hands and waist. "Even in the Third World, we don't do that to people," he told the Denver Post. "And the leader of the world does that to human beings?" DHS called the judge who freed him an "activist judge" and says people in ICE custody get comprehensive medical care. "I am back to where I was when they first arrested me," he said. "So I was asking myself, 'Why did they arrest me in the first place?'"
