ICE says Cuban detainee’s death from use of force
His death is the first homicide in ICE custody in recent history, experts said. It comes after the deadliest year in ICE detention in decades and six deaths in six weeks at Texas facilities.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials this week reported that the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at a detention facility in El Paso was the result of the staff’s “spontaneous use of force” to “prevent him from harming himself.” Officials quietly updated the cause of death after previously declaring last month that the man died of “medical distress.”
