June 26, 2025 Krome North SPC, Miami
Isidro Pérez, a 75-year-old Cuban man who had lived in the United States since arriving at age 16 in 1966, died in ICE custody after experiencing chest pains. He was arrested on June 5 at a community center in Key Largo by five immigration officers over a 1981 marijuana conviction for which he served 18 months — more than 40 years earlier. Detained at Krome North, he was hospitalized for unstable angina on June 17 and discharged back to detention on June 25. He died the next day.
