President Sheinbaum addressed the death of another Mexican in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody during her Monday morning press conference. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) confirmed that 18 Mexicans have now died in ICE custody or during immigration operations since the start of Donald Trump's second term on January 20, 2025.
The latest victim, 56-year-old Emiliano Andrade Covarrubias, died at a Texas detention center after being detained in June due to health issues, including diabetes and high blood pressure. Sheinbaum stated that Foreign Affairs Minister Roberto Velasco had contacted Andrade Covarrubias' family on Sunday, and the SRE had issued a statement regarding the death.
The Mexican government plans to file a complaint in the U.S. due to concerns over human rights protection.
