Haitian asylum seeker Daphy Michel, 31, had been placed in ICE’s electronic monitoring program days before she was found unresponsive at a Pittsburgh bus shelter.
When an innocent woman is last seen in ICE custody, then found dead days later still wearing an ankle monitor, people are going to ask hard questions — because a system that claims to monitor someone cannot simply lose responsibility for what happens to them next.
No one should die in ICE custody. This isn't immigration — it's cruelty.
This should be front page, headline news! I'm sick and tired of this. As a Citizen, as a Government employee, as a Veteran, and as a person, I want better from my Country and my Government! Shut Down ICE. Find a better way to do this. Speed up the process to get those in the system, their citizenship. (Sorry for the rant, but this angers me so much.) Please continue to keep us all informed.

This is unbearable. Immigration offenses are MISDEMEANORS! Certainly NOT death penalty crimes!
Thank you for the work you're doing, you have an important voice. I don't have a huge reach, but I'll do my best to amplify your column 🤩
It really is unbearable to see a misdemeanor end in something this devastating — and I’m grateful you’re helping amplify the work.
Why? .. such cruelty.. this was intentional 💔💔💔😪
It’s heartbreaking to read stories like this. No one seeking safety should be left alone and vulnerable like that.
Her death deserves real answers and accountability — a life like Daphy Michel’s should never be treated as disposable.
💔
💔 Some losses are just impossible to put into words.
Fucking murderers
