In an email, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Lauren Bis said, “ICE had NOTHING to do with this woman’s death. She passed away THREE days after ICE encountered her.”

All these ghouls type the same way.

    You're correct, but also wtf is that logic? By that line of reasoning, if you were to lock lock someone in a room and they starved to death a few days later, you'd "have NOTHING to do with" their death. Obvious nonsense take, with or without the administration's trademark toddleresque delivery.

    A magistrate said he could not hold her for trial for threatening imaginary people, Murphy said. Afterward, ICE arrested her in her cell, put an ankle monitor on her and took her 25 miles (40 kilometers) away to Pittsburgh, where she sat at a bus shelter for days in winter, he said.

    “She was in September clothes and it was February, and the weather overwhelmed her and she went into hypothermia,” Murphy said.

    Whoever made the decision to release her into the winter, with fall clothes, should be charged with murder, along with those who transported her, and dumped her.

    Prison awaits all you jackals.

    I love that the county coroner refused to deal with ICE in any way. They didn't even tell them that she was dead, they had to get confirmation in the news media.

    Also, that the judge had to tell Homeland Security that they couldn't keep her locked up because it's not illegal to threaten an imaginary person. THAT was her crime.

    Probably also worth noting that prior to ICE abducting her:

    She was arrested last summer for yelling at imaginary people... She spent six months in Washington County Jail

    because the only language the USA knows is violence, and that transcends departments.

    Edit: the violence is holding her in jail for 6 months. I'm not trying to dehumanize the victim for allegedly "yelling at imaginary people". Even a magistrate judge is quoted as noting you can't hold someone in jail for that, after she spent six months in jail.

    Ice doesn't just release people.

    The only reason they are dumping these people in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night is cause these people are already dead or near death. And they are trying to not be held accountable.

    That's what they are doing.

    I have only heard about this in relation to Mounties in Canada trying to kill natives as such.

    Daphy Michel, 31, died March 2. She was found at a bus shelter in Pittsburgh. The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s Office found her cause of death to be hypothermia and ruled the manner a homicide, “indicating the death was caused by the actions of another individual” and should not be interpreted as a declaration of criminal guilt, the office said in a statement. The office released its findings Friday.

    Michel was a native of Haiti who was seeking asylum in the U.S. after arriving at the southern border in 2022, said Joseph Patrick Murphy, her family’s attorney. She was granted humanitarian parole based on urgent humanitarian need, but she did not live to see a hearing scheduled for two weeks after she died, he said.

    The medical examiner’s office said Michel was a vulnerable adult “suffering from untreated severe mental health issues and a significant language barrier” at the time of her release on Feb. 27, the office said.
