A Mexican national died in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody earlier this week marking at least the 47th death in detention since the current administration began its immigration crackdown in 2025 and intensifying concerns from Mexican authorities over what they describe as systemic failures in detention centers.
Alejandro Cabrera Clemente, 49, was found unresponsive at the Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana and later pronounced dead at a local medical facility, according to ICE. The agency said "life-saving efforts" were attempted before an onsite physician declared him deceased at approximately 8:51 a.m. The cause of death remains under investigation.
