“Advocates are demanding an investigation after the mysterious death of a Haitian asylum seeker who was found unresponsive at a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, bus shelter days after being released from jail and placed under ICE supervision. The Haitian Bridge Alliance says 31-year-old Daphy Michel had reportedly been jailed for months and was released after a judge dismissed misdemeanor charges against her.

Baby Juan had reportedly been detained at Dilley for about a month.

Kids have been “traumatized by the experience,” says Castro.” “
