Canadian Citizen and Mexican Immigrant Become the Latest to Die in ICE Custody

HeadlineJun 27, 2025

In Florida, another person has been reported dead in the custody of ICE. Johnny Noviello, a 49-year-old citizen of Canada, was found unresponsive at the Bureau of Prisons Federal Detention Center in Miami on Monday. Noviello is at least the 10th person to die in ICE custody this year.

Last week, a 68-year-old Mexican immigrant died while being transported from a local Georgia jail to an ICE detention center. Abelardo Avellaneda Delgado is the first person to die under these circumstances in at least a decade, according to The Guardian, as private companies are tasked with transporting immigrants with little oversight to ensure their safety.
