ICE Detention and Deportation Policy

Mexico has demanded answers after a Mexican citizen reportedly died while in ICE custody in Georgia, calling for an investigation into the circumstances of the death. The case comes amid broader scrutiny of deaths in U.S. immigration detention — including a legal filing alleging a Cuban immigrant was killed in ICE custody — and follows recent, tense cooperation between the two governments, such as Mexico’s transfer of 37 alleged cartel suspects to U.S. custody.
