Questions surround the death of the Haitian woman in the ice discovering center

The legislator calls for answers after a woman from Haiti has died in the US immigration and customs authority (ICE).

Accordingly NPR44-year-old Marie Anlaise Died last week at the Broward Transitional Center in Pompano Beach, Florida.

Blaise's cause of death remains unclear, but Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D), a Haitian American, suggested that she may not have received any adequate medical care.

“Marie had complained about chest pain for hours,” said Cherfilus-McCormick on Wednesday (April 30) on the house floor. “They gave her a few pills and told her that she should lie down. Unfortunately Marie never woke up.”

When ICE announced the death of Blaise on Tuesday (April 29), ICE found that “a prisoner” Emergent Care “is never” a prisoner “during the detention.

“All people in ice custody will receive medical, dental and mental health screening and 24-hour emergency care in every detention center,” said the agency.

According to ICE, Blaise entered the USA without admission or probation “at an unknown date and location”. The US customs and border protection officers (CBP) came up with Blaise in February when they went on board a flight to Charlotte, North Carolina, at Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.

“At the same time, CBP Blaise spent a message about an accelerated distance, in which inadmissibility was charged as an immigrant without a valid immigration visa,” said ICE.

CBP initially sent Blaise in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in ice custody before handing it into the Richwood Correctional Center in Louisiana. Last month, Blaise was brought to the Pompano Beach Detention Center, where she died three weeks later.

On Wednesday, Cherfilus-McCormick said that she intends to visit the facility and request a “complete, independent examination” in Blaise's death.

“Your loved ones earn answers,” she said. “You deserve an accountability – like so many immigrant families who miss and injured their relatives.”
