- Mexican immigrant Jose Guadalupe Ramos-Solano died last week in US immigration custody at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in Southern California.
- His death is at least the 14th reported by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) this year.
- The incident occurred amid record ICE detention levels, with 68,000 individuals held by early February.
- This surge in detentions follows a 2025 mass deportation effort by Donald Trump, who pledged to detain millions.
