A Canadian died in ICE custody. His family wants answers

from The Decibel · host The Globe and Mail

In May, a Canadian man, 49-year-old Johnny Noviello, was arrested by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at a probation office in Florida. He came to the U.S. legally in 1988, and had been a permanent resident. Later, on June 23, he died while in ICE custody. Noviello was one of dozens of Canadians currently in immigration-related detention in the United States, as the Trump adminstration has ramped up deportations. Janice Dickson, an international affairs reporter for the Globe, went to Florida to find out what happened to Noviello in the weeks before his death. She’ll tell us what she heard from Noviello’s loved ones, and how his death highlights the lack of transparency in the Trump administration’s push to remove migrants.Questions? Comments? Ideas?
