At just 25 years old, Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero was sh0t and k*lled by ICE agents with his wife and 3 year old daughter in the car.

Johan was a hard working man with a valid US work permit and Social Secutity Number, who was in the process of obtaining citizenship.

Johan is described by friends as “an excellent person, a good father, [and] good husband.”

ICE claims to have been out on the hunt for another non-white citizen, when locking onto Johan as their target.

Officer David Brouillette has been identified as the agent who shot and killed unarmed Johan.

Unlike Johan, David has an extensive record of physical and verbal abuse, stalking, harassment, and reckless driving.

ICE claims to be taking criminals off the streets, while instead employing criminals, and enabling those criminals to ad*uct, r*pe, and k*ll people of color all over the country.

This case is not an exception, but another truly horrifying example of what ICE is doing every single day.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo “was a quiet man who left for work at sunrise and loved to pet his dog and sit on his porch listening to music.”

Lorenzo met the love of his life as a teenager, and they went on to build a life together in America over the next 35 years.

They moved to America and Lorenzo worked hard, 14 hours days building houses, and eventually his own business, to support his 3 children.

One morning, Lorenzo got up and went to work, picking up his employees on the way.

Records indicate Lorenzo may have been followed by an unmarked, suspicious vehicle, which he wanted to avoid.

This vehicle turned out to be ICE, on the hunt for a different non-white human, who assumed Lorenzo was their target.

ICE pursued the vehicle, and claims Lorenzo both avoided them but also somehow rammed his car into them.

Wittnesses report seeing ICE agetns ram Lorenzo’s van first and Lorenzo was then willing to surrender.

Officer Gregory Feathers then fired directly through the passenger window, after he was out of danger.

Lorenzo did not make it home to his family that night, and never will again.

Adrian Andreas Florian died in ICE custody at 85 years old.

Adrian applied for admission to the US in August, 2025, presenting himself to officers at the Texas border.

He did not have valid identification, so ICE took him into custody.

There is no crime filed against him, he fell in the “mandatory detention” category.

Prior to 1996, the U.S. Supreme Court explicitly declared that “physical detention of aliens is now the exception, not the rule.”

People were only detained if they were proven danger to public saftely or clear flight risk.

“Corporations like GEO Group and CoreCivic influence policy development and immigration reform, as explicitly seen in the history behind legislation like the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996, Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) of 2004, and ultimately the DHS Appropriations behind the initial bed mandate of 2009.”

“Private prison corporations vastly profit from the management of immigration populations, and as such, they are incentivized to participate in the creation of anti-immigrant policies which “encourage[d] the disappearance of immigrant bodies from the public space” and into detention facilities.
mandatory detention”

Adrain was 85, in poor health and suffered from dementia.

He was held in private hospitals and rehabiilitation centers.

He spent the last 10 months of his life in custody, and the taxpayers paid an estimated $700,000-$1M to these private companies for his care.

These corporations dont care about immigratns, or why you end up in their facilities, they just care about making more laws, to make sure those numbers keep growing, and so do their bank accounts.

Felix Alcorta-Rodriguez died in ICE custody on June 19, 2026.

Felix was living with multiple chronic cardiovascualr and metabolic illnesses.

He was initially picked up by local police and held at the Webb County Jail on an outstanding warrant.

Felix was suffering with multiple symptoms of his illness, including shortness of breath and extreme swelling of the extremities.

His illness was so bad, that Webb County Jail actually booked a doctors appointment for him on June 16th.

However, when the 16th came, instead of sending him to the doctos, they processed him to be transferred into ICE custody. During this transfer, the county jail did not give Felix his daily medication.

His health was quickly deteriorating. Instead of a regular cell, ICE sent him to a medical unit. He contrinued to get worse, and they brought him to Laredo Medical Center Emergency Room.

He was kept there for 2 days, determined to be impoving, and was moved back to the WCDC medical unit.

The next day, Felix was dead.

Mamuka Artmeladze was just 43 years old when he died at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana, on June 4th 2026.

Mamuka had no criminal or violent history. He was a “collateral” detention because he was in the vicinity of operation ICE Wall FY26, “a joint operation between ICE and state law enforcement agencies across the US South and Midwest to target truck drivers”

Like Mamuka, 7/10 people detained by this project have 0 ciminal history or show any threat to society.

These people are hard working, tax paying individuals, who used to be contributing to society. Instead, US taxpayers “spent $17,850 detaining this single person without any evidence that it served the interests of public safety or national security”

444,900 people have been booked into detention since Trump took office in 2025.

444,900 x $17,850 = $7,941,465,000 your tax money to immigrant detention

In 2022, undocumented immigrants paid $96,700,000,000 in taxes, that will now not be paid.

Mamuka was held at the Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana.

On June 2, a DHS Inspector General’s report was published on what they found during an unannounced inspection of the Winn Corrrection Center.

It stated that staff did not ensure safe and sanitary conditions, did not store perishable food properly, did not report use-of-force incidents, did not maintain accurate files, did not ensure detainees had access to legal materials and more.

Mamuka’s official cause of death has not been released.

Denny Adán González was in search of the American Dream.

He came to America and worked hard to own a car, pay rent and build a life.

He was arrested by local police, and initally held without bail for a month. The judge changed their mind, and had Denny pay $2,500 bail, which he paid immediately.

Denny was not released from prison, but instead trasferred to Stewart Detention Center in very rural Georgia.

“The center, which can hold up to 2,000 people, has been the subject of numerous complaints involving solitary confinement, medical neglect, the use of force against detainees, and sexual abuse.”

He lived in a room with 80 other detainees.

In order to raise money for food, as well as bring some hope and whimsy into detainment, Denny began carefully pulling threads from the ends of blankets and jumpsuits. He would make bracelets and sell them to other detainees that had people on the outside contribuing to their commisary account.

Denny’s Mom lived in Cuba, and his brother lives in Spain. Denny was looking forward to getting out of detention, and re-uniting with his family.

On April 26th, witnesses report seeing Denny get into a physical and/or verbal altercation with guards. The officer filed a disciplany report against Denny. He was evaulated by nurses that deemed him not to be a threat to his own safety, and was then moved to segregation.

2 days later, on April 28th, at just 33 years old, Denny was dead. ICE reports that Denny took his own life.

A fellow inmate said, “When you are in the punishment cell, every five minutes the guard comes and checks you. It’s a tiny room; there’s no way to h@ng yourself from the ceiling. Where are you going to put the sheet? I think the guards went in and str@ngled him. But it’s your word against theirs.”

With such a suspicious death, the family wanted to have an independent investigation done.

However, “When the family finally gained access to the body, more than four weeks had passed since the death. They said that after that time it would be difficult to find information useful to the investigation.” by @crossed__lines

Aled Damien Carbonell-Betancourt was accused of tresspassing at an abandoned farmers market. He was approached by police and ultimatley ran off, leading the officer to tase him and place him under arrest.

Officers initally charged him with resisting an officer with violence, which is a felony in Florida. They later changed their mind, saying he was actually resisting an officer WITHOUT violence. They later changed their mind again, and dismissed the case.

Unfortunately for Aled, no one actually whether or not he committed these alleged crimes, just the color of his skin and country he was born.

Once arrested, ICE quickly lodged in immigration detainer and took custody.

Aled was taken to the Miami Federal Detention Center. “A Herald investigation last year fiound that ICE detainees at FDC face harsh conditions, crumbling infrasatructure, use of force and lack of access to lawyers.””

While in detention, the harsh conditions started to affect Aled and he asked for help.

On March 18th, Aled reported anxiety and difficulty sleeping. A physician diagnosed him with anxiery disorder and prescirbed medication.

Personal note - as a human diagnosed with anxiety disorder, I can tell you - THIS IS NOT SUFFICIENT HELP.

But, back to Aled’s story, where you can make your own conclusions.

Less than 1 month after asking for help, ICE officers report finding Aled “”hanging via a bedsheet attached to his bunk.”

At just 27 years old, Aled’s charges were dismissed, but his life was taken away.

Tuan Van Bui, son of a US soldier and Vietnamese woman, came to the US in 1990 under Amerasian Homecoming Act.

US soldiers impregnating vietnamise women wile deployed became so frequent, an official act had to be impemeneted to allow these children to come to the US, as they are no longer welcome in Vietnam.

As a non-citizen, Tuan routinely attended ICE check-ins. After 20 years of following the rules, appearing at these check-ins, Tuan went to his regular appointment where ICE was waiting, and immedately took him into custody.

Tuan was held at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center, a GEO group, for PROFIT detention ceter, where inmates had recently gone on a hunger strike to protest a systemic lack of adequate medical attention.

Tuan was then moved out of state, to Miami Correctoinal Ceter in Indiana.

ICE claims they are “committed to ensuring that all those in custody reside in safe, secure and humane environments. Comprehensive medical care is provided from the moment individuals arrive and throughout the entirety of their stay,” however, after just 7.5 months in ICE detention, Tuan died at just 55 in ICE custody.

Tuan is survived by his wife, children and grandchildren.

Alejandro Cabrera Clemente built a life in the US over the 25 years he lived here.

He went to work, went to church, paid taxes, and contributed to society. He also had a chronic, treatable medical condition that required constant attention and medication.

Alejandro was detained by local authorities with a pending charge of driving on a suspended license - which was never tried in court.

When a person is detained by local authorities, their information is entered into a Ferderal database. ICE monitors this database, hunting for people they can detain.

Alejandro was moved into ICE custody, where they claim to have been monitoring and medicating his condition. Despite these claims, he continued to have high blood pressure throughout his detainment.

The official narrative is that Alejandro was found unresponsive in his cell, nurses began immediate intervention, but were unable to save him, and he was pronounced dead at the Winn Correction Center.

However, the official records around his death and cause have not been released. This may be related to the fact that an investigation into recent ICE detention deaths has proven at least 17 deaths could have been prevented if medical care had not been delayed or just completely insufficient.

Jose Guadalupe Ramos-Solano was a loving husband and father.

He was arrested on minor charges and the judge sentenced him to a diversion program with no jail time.

With a diversion sentence, an individual is placed into some sort of rehabilitation program, and when the program is complete, the court typically dismisses the charges completely.

While working on his diversion program, Jose was tracked down and detained by ICE while leaving a court check-in.

This detention prevented Jose from completing his program and having his record cleared.

Jose was taken to the for profit Adelanto ICE processing Center.

Records become blurry after this, but Jose became sick during his time in detention, and begged for help. Jose did not get help until it was too late, and died from COVID.

His daughter says, “What happened to my dad was very inhumane. I think my family and I deserve to know the truth of what happened to my dad.”

The recounts of his death by ICE officers is allarmingly different than what has been reported by wittnesses who lived with Jose in detention.

Royer Pérez Jiménez was just 19 when he died in ICE custody.

Royer was arrested while riding a scooter.

He was charged with resisting an officer and giving false identification, but family of Royer say he was just been confused, since he was not fluent in English.

Either way, Royer was then taken out of local custody and handed over to ICE, where his fate was sealed.

Royer was sent to the Glades County Detention Center in Moore Haven, Florida.

In 2022, Ice stopped working with the Glades County Detention Center for failing to meet detention standards, documenting years of “systemic environmental harm, physical abuse, racial violence against Black detained people, retaliatory punishment, and the unlawful deletion of surveillance footage.”

In April, 2025, the Trump administration reestablished a contract with them, without any evidence of improvement.

On March 16th, an officer found Royer’s body unconcious and unresponsive.

53 days after being arrested riding a scooter, Royer Pérez Jiménez was just 19 when he was pronounced dead in ICE custody.

We have no idea how he died, his death is still under investigation.

Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal came to this country legally. After fighting along side US Special forces in Afghanistan, he was evacuated to the US when troops left the region in 2021.

Once in the US, Mohammad applied for Asylum, and was given temporary humanitarian parole status.

4 years later, his asylum case was still pending, but his temporary humanitarian parole status expired. He did still have work authorization to stay in the country.

On March 13th, 2026, 2 unmarked SUVs stopped Mohammad, and 8-9 people with no badges or identification surrounded him.

Mohammad shared his paperwork with these individuals, showing he had legal work authorization to be in the US, but this did not deter them from detaining him into ICE custody.

Later that night, Mohammad was able to speak with his brother, telling him his entire body was in pain, he was shaking and couldnt breathe.

Afterwards, on the phone, an ICE officer told his brother they would take care of Mohammad, that they had nurses and he would be taken to the hospital if necessary, but would not disclose the hospital they would be going to.

He did not hear from his brother again.

2 days later, he recieved a call that his brother would never make it out of ice custody, he was dead.
