A Cuban man reportedly died Monday in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, just two days after officials confirmed that a British man died in its custody on Saturday. BuzzFeed News reports the unnamed 63-year-old Cuban died at a Florida hospital and the cause has been preliminarily identified as a cardiac arrest. The Briton, 39-year-old Ben James Owen, died at the Baker County Detention Center in Florida ahead of deportation proceedings. Officials said the preliminary cause of his death appeared to be “self-inflicted strangulation.” The two deaths bring the total number of people who have died in ICE custody since October to six. “ICE is firmly committed to the health and welfare of all those in its custody and is undertaking a comprehensive agency-wide review of this incident, as it does in all such cases,” ICE said in a statement after it confirmed Owen’s death this week.

1. It's a shame we can't believe a word they say.

2. They got a lot of attention six months ago, but it appears very little is being exposed of late.

What's going on? Impeachment taking the lead?

If someone isn't watching them closely, none of this surprises me.

Self-inflicted strangulation?

3. Just like Epstein!

How coincidental is THAT?

[Frustratedlady]

4. Yeah, that's what I figured. That type of suicide doesn't sound too difficult.

5. How did he manage this,

in a crowded detention center?

6. These are the ones we know something about. How many more do you suppose have been disappeared?
