A Honduran man who was injured while working in the unfinished Hard Rock Hotel in New Orleans as it collapsed last week is in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement awaiting deportation.

Attorneys representing Delmer Ramirez, along with several other workers injured in the deadly collapse, say that their client was detained shortly after he spoke about the accident on a Spanish-language news network.

Ramirez’s attorney Daryl Grey said he was concerned that his client was significantly injured. As of Friday afternoon, Grey said, his client had not yet received the appropriate medical treatment while in custody.

“I’m more concerned about his treatment within ICE custody,” Grey told HuffPost on Friday.

At a news conference earlier Friday, Grey said Ramirez was “injured and in need of surgery.”

A portion of the Hard Rock Hotel, which was still under construction in the heart of the French Quarter, collapsed Oct. 12, killing at least three people and injuring 20 others. Through the Wright, Pichon & Grey law firm, Ramirez and four others filed a lawsuit seeking damages for the injuries they sustained when the construction site caved in on the workers.
