Woman’s hypothermia death after her release by ICE is ruled a homicide

Daphy Michel, a vulnerable asylum seeker from Haiti, died at Pittsburgh bus shelter days after leaving federal custody

A medical examiner has ruled the death of a Haitian asylum seeker in Pennsylvania after being released from federal custody a homicide.

Meanwhile, an attorney representing her family said he expects her relatives to sue Immigration and Customs Enforcement in connection with her death, though a spokesperson maintained in an email that the agency had “NOTHING to do with this woman’s death”.
