Rep #TonyGonzales, a #Texas #Republican accused of having a coercive sexual relationship with a staff member who later died by #suicide, said Monday that he would resign from #Congress amid growing bipartisan outcry from #House members.
The 3rd-term congressman whose border district stretches from San Antonio to El Paso, was embroiled in a bitter primary fight when texts became public that documented his pursuit of a female staff member.

#ICE detainees are dying by #suicide at an 'alarming' rate, AP investigation finds
Brayan Rayo Garzon was distraught. Detained by ICE, he was on his fourth day of #isolation in a Missouri jail as he battled the fevers & chills of #COVID-19.
His request for #MentalHealth treatment had been put off, records show, & staff had forbidden Rayo from making his nightly call to his mother as a precaution intended to prevent the spread of illness.
