- Ninth person died in ICE custody in 2025 — Johnny Noviello, 49, died in ICE custody, becoming the ninth person to die in ICE custody since the beginning of 2025 and the fourth to die in a Florida facility. Daily Beast columnist Julia Davis reported the death.
- ICE detention deaths surge to 13 in fiscal 2025, tracking toward deadliest year on record — Two additional deaths in ICE custody—a 75-year-old Cuban man and a 49-year-old Canadian (Johnny Noviello, found unresponsive June 23 in Miami)—bring the 2025 fiscal-year total to 13 deaths, compared to 12 for all of fiscal 2024. Advocates attribute the spike to deteriorating conditions as ICE detains over 56,000 people (140% of stated capacity) while pursuing aggressive deportation targets. At current pace, 2025 could see 26+ deaths. The Canadian government has requested information from US authorities regarding Noviello's death.
