El año fiscal 2025 registró 20 muertes de inmigrantes bajo custodia de ICE, siendo la segunda cifra más alta después del año pandémico de 2020.

Overview

  • ICE confirms 20 detainee deaths in fiscal 2025, exceeding 2024’s 12 and trailing only 2020’s 21.
  • The two most recent deaths were Miguel Ángel García Hernández of Mexico and Norlan Guzmán Fuentes of El Salvador, killed in last week’s shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas.
  • Reports say Guzmán Fuentes was restrained at the time of the attack, and a Venezuelan detainee injured in the incident remains in critical condition.
  • ICE says Ismael Ayala Uribe was evaluated for a gluteal abscess with surgery scheduled, then was found unconscious on September 22 at Adelanto and pronounced dead.
  • Families and advocates are demanding investigations, while Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff press DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE Director Todd Lyons for a prevention plan.
