U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has confirmed the death of a 67-year-old Jordanian man in its custody, marking the third reported fatality in detention in the past three weeks. The agency, however, maintains that conditions in its facilities are "safe, secure, and humane."
ICE said Hasan Ali Moh'd Saleh died on October 11 at Larkin Community Hospital in Miami, Florida, after suffering cardiac arrest. According to the agency, Saleh was taken to the hospital a day earlier due to a fever and was later admitted for treatment. Medical staff found him unresponsive the following evening and initiated CPR. He briefly regained a pulse before suffering another cardiac event and was pronounced dead at 7:13 p.m.
