The Daily Beast is reporting that "A Canadian citizen in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Florida died while awaiting removal from the U.S., the agency announced Thursday."
"Johnny Noviello, 49, was found unresponsive Monday afternoon in Miami’s Bureau of Prisons Federal Detention Center. Noviello was pronounced dead within the hour. The cause of death remains under investigation."
"Noviello, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. since Oct. 1991 who first entered the country with a legal visa three years prior, was convicted in 2023 of drug trafficking and racketeering in Volusia County, Florida, according to ICE. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison." 12 months for a drug charge in the US isn't much. It was pain killers.
"Last month, ICE arrested Noviello at the Florida Department of Corrections Probation office. He was “charged with removability,” ICE said, due to his past conviction."
That's no reason to kill him. The United States is a toilet now.
Update: Here's the deal. This was a Canadian with permanent residence in the United States. He has a drug conviction which means he's deportable. So revoke his PR status. That's all your have to do. You don't have to hunt him down, mistreat and murder him. These ICE prisons are completely inappropriate.
This is unfortunate. Please report what he died of when they release that information.
ReplyDeleteIf they don't pull a Jeffrey Epstein and tell us.
DeleteThis guy seems to have a history, but it seems that getting your day in court is gone. It is straight to general detention and maybe court if you make it. Seems like visiting the USA could be a gamble.
ReplyDeleteIt is a gamble. Could be fine, could be a nightmare. The guy had a record so he could lose his permanent residence status but locking him up in an ICE prison was off the hook. It's the crazy extremism I rather avoid.
