A 34-year-old Mexican man has died by apparent suicide while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in Missouri — the second such death in the state this year and part of what advocates are calling a troubling pattern inside the federal detention system.
The death of Leo Cruz-Silva on October 4 comes just months after that of Brayan Garzón-Rayo, a 27-year-old Colombian man who was also found unresponsive in his Missouri jail cell in April.
