Johnny Noviello, a 49-year-old lawful permanent resident, died at the Federal Detention Center in Miami after six weeks in immigration custody. His death marks the ninth in ICE custody this year, raising concerns over detainee health. While ICE stated it ensures humane conditions, the family is mourning, emphasizing the emotional toll. The cause of death is under investigation, though recent deaths were deemed natural. Noviello had a history of legal residency but had recent legal troubles, including a conviction for selling opioids, which complicates the narrative around his detention.
We are destroyed," Angelo Noviello, 80, said after hearing about his son's death in detention, marking a tragic loss for the family.
ICE remains committed to ensuring that all those in its custody reside in safe, secure, and humane environments," indicating the agency's stance on detainee welfare.
