Denny Adán González, 33, whose death is being investigated as suicide, is 18th person to die in ICE custody this year
A Cuban immigrant died inside an immigration detention center in Georgia earlier this week, according to a congressional notification sent on Friday and reviewed by the Guardian.
The Cuban man, identified as 33-year-old Denny Adán González, died inside the privately run Stewart detention center. His death is being investigated as a suicide.
The man is the 18th person to die in 2026 in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency tasked with carrying out Donald Trump’s anti-immigration agenda.
On Thursday evening, CoreCivic, the private company that runs the Stewart facility in Lumpkin, Georgia, confirmed the death in a statement to the Guardian, without providing many details.
