Episode Details

A 31-year-old Haitian asylum seeker, Daphy Michel, died from hypothermia in a Pittsburgh bus shelter just days after being released from federal custody — officially ruled a homicide. Struggling with severe mental health issues and language barriers, she was dressed in winter-inappropriate clothing. Her family plans to sue ICE, which denies responsibility, calling her an “illegal alien” in removal proceedings and claiming she had access to transport and a working phone. ICE also alleges her ankle monitor was tampered with — though local officials say her death was preventable with more compassion. Complicating matters, ICE has stopped reporting detainee deaths within 30 days of release, raising alarms among health experts that the true toll of systemic neglect is being hidden.
