  "account": "The son of a Canadian woman who died after a fall in Point Roberts, Washington, earlier this month, claims she declined medical care due to fear of deportation. Dylan Adamson, 61, expressed concern that U.S. authorities would detain or bar him from returning if he sought treatment. The incident occurred a month after Paige Adamson, a permanent U.S. resident, was detained by border officials for questioning about casting a vote during a 2018 election. Her son learned of her fall after speaking with a firefighter who attended to her the following Sunday, a week after the accident.",
