A 19‑year‑old Mexican detainee died Monday at an ICE detention center in Florida, which ICE confirmed was the 13th in‑custody death so far this year. CBS, citing ICE data, says the 2026 total is the highest number of deaths in ICE custody in roughly two decades and characterizes the tally as part of a broader upward trend rather than isolated incidents.
