A 36-year-old Nicaraguan man, Victor Manuel Diaz, died in ICE custody in El Paso, Texas, after being found unconscious in his room at Camp East Montana. Emergency services attempted life-saving measures, but Diaz was pronounced dead shortly thereafter, with ICE stating his death is presumed a suicide, pending investigation. Diaz had been arrested on January 6 after entering the U.S. illegally and was ordered removed last August. His death follows another incident involving a Mexican citizen in Georgia, raising concerns as at least 15 deaths occurred in ICE custody last year.
