A Mexican teenager has died while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in South Florida, according to a statement from the agency. Royer Perez-Jimenez, a 19-year-old from Mexico, died on March 16 at the Glades County Detention Center " a county jail on the western shore of Lake Okeechobee that has long housed immigrant detainees and been the subject of allegations of abuse. According to ICE, Perez "died of a presumed suicide," although his official cause of death remains under investigation. He appears to be the youngest person to die in ICE custody since President Donald Trump took office again in January 2025, according to ICE records. According to ICE's statement, at around 2:30 a.m. on March 16, a Glades County detention officer found Perez "unconscious and unresponsive." Staff began CPR, and medical personnel arrived minutes later, determined he was without a pulse, and took over resuscitation efforts before requesting emergency medical services.
