Johnny Noviello was detained by US immigration in Florida over a 2023 conviction and died while awaiting deportation

Authorities in Canada are seeking information about the death of a 49-year-old Canadian man who died while in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) custody in Florida this week.

In a statement, Ice, part of the Department of Homeland Security, said Johnny Noviello, 49, died on 23 June after being found unresponsive at a federal detention center in Miami, where he was being detained “pending removal proceedings” from the US.

Noviello is the ninth person to die in Ice custody this year, and the fourth to die in a Florida facility, according to the Miami Herald.

    The US is impossible to invade. Trump dying is the only way out, no elections or help from outside. We either wait this shit out by staying alive, or risk dying if you want to do something to improve things. It’s why Democratic politicians aren’t putting up a meaningful fight; they’re scared. They know the law is only serves him now.
