Lawmakers demand answers after a Haitian woman dies at an ICE detention center

"A Haitian woman named Marie Ange Blaise died after spending over two months in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. She was found dead at the Broward Transitional Center in Pompano Beach, Fla., with her cause of death under investigation by ICE. The agency denied emergent care during her detention. Congress is calling for an independent investigation, including Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and others who expressed outrage over the treatment of immigrants in detention facilities. This incident follows six other deaths in ICE custody since the start of the 2025 fiscal year, raising concerns about immigration policies under the Trump administration."
