Another immigrant has died in the custody of ICE. Felix Alcorta-Rodriguez is at least the 20th reported ICE death in 2026. The 63-year-old immigrant from Mexico was found unconscious the night of June 19 while detained at the Webb County Detention Center in Laredo, Texas. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. ICE has listed no cause of death. The Webb County Detention Center is operated by the for-profit prison company CoreCivic.
Deaths in ICE custody have skyrocketed during Trump’s second term, with the United Nations calling for prompt and independent investigations. In a statement, U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk said, “Those responsible for violations of the law must be held to account, and the rights of the victims’ families to truth, justice and reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence must be upheld.”
