Cuban man who lived in the U.S for 60 years dies in ICE detention in Miami
A 75-year-old Cuban man who arrived in the United States nearly six decades ago died Thursday after three weeks in immigration detention in Miami. Isidro Perez is the fifth person to die in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in Florida this year. Half of all deaths since January in the agency’s custody nationwide have been in Florida. Perez arrived in the U.S. in 1966, according to ICE’s press release announcing his death. On June 5, ICE arrested him “during a law enforcement action in Key Largo,” though the agency did not release details about the operation. His cause of death is under investigation. Perez was being held at the Krome Detention Center in southwest Miami-Dade County. “ICE remains committed to ensuring that all those in its custody reside in safe, secure, and humane environments,” the press release on Perez’s death said. “At no time during detention is a detained illegal alien denied emergent care.” Medical examiners ruled two deaths in January and February to be from natural causes, but a Miami Herald investigation found evidence of substandard or delayed medical care. Reporters requested autopsies and medical reports for the other three deaths but have yet to receive them.
