Another immigrant dies while in ICE custody at a controversial for-profit detention center

A Honduran immigrant who was arrested last month by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during an immigration raid, died this week after he collapsed while playing soccer.

Vicente Caceres-Maradiaga was pronounced dead at the Adelanto Detention Facility, a for-profit facility in California. Detention center staff were unable to revive him, according to an ICE press release. The preliminary cause of death is acute coronary syndrome. Caceres-Maradiaga had previously been diagnosed with hypertension and an umbilical hernia, two conditions for which he received treatment while in ICE custody.

ICE agents arrested Caceres-Maradiaga last month during a raid in North Hollywood, California.

“Records indicate that Mr. Caceres, who was never lawfully admitted to the U.S., has had two prior criminal convictions since 2011, one for DUI and one for fraud,” the ICE press release said. He is now the ninth immigrant detainee to die while in ICE custody in the 2017 fiscal year which began in October, and the third to die at Adelanto.
