19-year-old Mexican detainee dies in ICE custody at Florida facility

A 19-year-old Mexican detainee, Royer Perez-Jimenez, died after being found unconscious at Florida's Glades County Detention Center; ICE says the death is a presumed suicide and the case is under investigation. He had been arrested in January for impersonation fraud and resisting an officer after entering the U.S. illegally. Mexico’s government called the death unacceptable and urged a prompt, thorough probe. Detention watchdogs say migrant deaths in ICE custody have risen since Trump’s 2025 immigration crackdown.
