Two more Ice deaths put US on track for one of deadliest years in immigration detention

Cuban person, 75, reportedly died in immigration detention last week, marking 13th migrant death in Ice jails in 2025

The Trump administration is on track to oversee one of the deadliest years for immigrant detention as of late after the recent deaths of two men – one from Cuba and another from Canada – while in federal custody.

A 75-year-old Cuban man died last week while being held by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), CBS News reported, citing a notification sent to Congress. This would mark the 13th death in its facilities during the 2025 fiscal year, which began in October.
