A 27-year-old Cuban man died while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in Miami, in what the agency described as a "presumed suicide," renewing scrutiny over a rising number of deaths in immigration detention and conditions inside Florida facilities.
ICE identified the man as Aled Damien Carbonell-Betancourt. According to the agency, he was found in his cell Sunday morning at the Federal Detention Center in downtown Miami in what appeared to be a suicide attempt. Staff members began CPR and Miami Fire Rescue responded, but he was pronounced dead a short time later. ICE said the official cause of death remains under investigation.
