Johnny Noviello was detained by US immigration in Florida over a 2023 conviction and died while awaiting deportation

Authorities in Canada are seeking information about the death of a 49-year-old Canadian man who died while in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) custody in Florida this week.

In a statement, Ice, part of the Department of Homeland Security, said Johnny Noviello, 49, died on 23 June after being found unresponsive at a federal detention center in Miami, where he was being detained “pending removal proceedings” from the US.

Noviello is the ninth person to die in Ice custody this year, and the fourth to die in a Florida facility, according to the Miami Herald.

    God … fucking… damnit!

    Could someone invade this country – for real – and depose our maliciously incompetent leadership?

    Leising told the outlet that Noviello’s family said he had epilepsy and was on seizure medication and they had worked “painstakingly to make sure that he got his meds”.

    Of course his medical needs were neglected.
