EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — ABC-7 reported less than two weeks ago about the third reported migrant death at Camp East Montana inside Fort Bliss, where 36-year-old Victor Manuel Diaz died by presumed suicide, according to ICE.

The attorney representing Diaz’s family from Nicaragua, Randall Kallinen, says they want to start an investigation into what led to his death because they haven’t been told exactly what happened.

Diaz’s body was taken to William Beaumont Army Medical Center, north of Fort Bliss, where the autopsy is being conducted by army officials and the Armed Forces Medical Examiner’s Office. This raised questions about why the two previous migrants who died were not taken there and were taken to the El Paso County Medical Examiner’s Office.

“We are very concerned about the Army hospital doing it (autopsy report) because we wonder, well, why have things changed when the other two times, just recently, that someone died right there at the Camp East Montana ICE facility, they went to the El Paso County medical examiner. Why did Victor Diaz go to the El Paso County medical examiner?” Attorney Kallinen told ABC-7.

“And as we all know, that’s been in the news. The person who passed away on January 4th, Mr. Lunas Campos, they (ICE) claimed that he committed suicide, when, in fact, the medical examiner said no, it was a homicide, and there were witnesses, and there’s a court case now, you probably heard about it, where they’re trying to keep those witnesses from being deported so that they can be witnesses in the case and maybe potentially a crime has occurred,” Attorney Kallinen added.

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA)— This Good Vibes Only report begins in the busy streets of the Resler area in West El Paso.

Two stray dogs had been roaming the area near the interstate for over two weeks when a local animal rescue spotted them. One was limping; the other stayed nearby.

“People would drive by, and they’d be huddled up together, and then they’d see him get up and walk away with his leg just dangling.”

The male dog, Paxton, had been injured. One of his hind legs required immediate medical attention.

He was also joined by a female pup, Daphne, who remained by his side the entire time.

Karen Washington with Pawsitive Rescuers of El Paso picked them both up.

“They went straight to the vet and, you know, started their process on getting his leg fixed in her and making sure that they’re going to be okay,” said Loretta Hyde.

Paxton’s injured leg was set to be amputated, but after undergoing surgery, his leg was saved!

Loretta Hyde, the founder of the Animal Rescue League of El Paso, said that Paxton was never alone over the span of those two weeks. Daphne was determined to be with him at all times.

“She never left his side the whole two weeks. When he moved, she moved and vice versa. Once they caught him, she was like, I’m going with you. There was no doubt that she wasn’t going to go with us in the same car,” she said.

Paxton continues to recover and gain strength in that leg.

“He comes up to us now. He wants attention.”

The pair is now under the care of the Animal Rescue League of El Paso while they await adoption.

Hyde said the right owner will offer plenty of tender, loving care and patience!

She wants them to be adopted by the same owner because of the pair’s close bond. She said she’s even willing to do a two-for-one deal.

“A forever home that they get to go together and that they get to stay together because they definitely respect each other. I want to be together.” “Even willing to do a two-for-one if I could keep them together. I would love for her to go with him because it’s his comfort, and that’s her comfort blanket as well.”

For those interested in adopting the pair, the Animal Rescue League of El Paso is open seven days a week. Click here for more information.

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — Today’s women are busy. They’re stressed, exhausted, overwhelmed and often lonely. That’s why Nicole Haymon decided to take action. She created a “purpose and paint party.” Dozens of women answered the call, gathering for a night of smiles, conversation, goal setting, and painting.

Participant Tonique Hayward says, “It was needed, honestly.  I felt like this was a moment for me to spend some time with myself…with women who are looking for the same thing I’m looking for.  Community, sisterhood.”

Nicole Haymon, also the author of “Imperfectly Purposed,” says she decided to have the women paint journals that they could fill with their thoughts.

“Journaling is a way to brain dump.  Get everything out of your mind, because your mind is not supposed to be a storage.  And you can process your thoughts and go back and look at progress,” she says.

Notable moments also included guided group painting sessions, signature mirror moments, where participants affirmed one another, small group connection, and a celebratory “you go” circle to close out the night.

‘The purpose is for us to be who we are in that moment.  Imperfect, messy, but with a purpose,” Haymon says.

Haymon also wrote a book, called “Imperfectly Purposed.” More information here Imperfectly Purposed: A Guided Journey on Your Path to Becoming Purpose-Full: Haymon, Nicole: 9798449707017: Amazon.com: Books
