A 19-year-old Mexican national has died in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in Florida, becoming the latest confirmed death in detention this year and the youngest since President Trump's return to office in January 2025.

The case adds to a growing number of fatalities in ICE facilities in 2026, which had already reached at least 11 by early March and rose to at least 12 days before with the death of an Afghan asylum seeker named Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal in Texas.
