Marie Ange Blaise, a Haitian national detained at the Broward Transitional Center (BTC), died of a heart attack on April 25th, with her son reporting that she was denied medical care for chest pains on the day of her death. An ICE report indicates a history of high blood pressure and kidney disease but also claims Blaise refused medication, though other detainees at the facility observed a delayed response from staff when she collapsed. Detainees and lawyers have repeatedly alleged medical neglect at ICE facilities in South Florida, and these allegations include claims that staff regularly withheld necessary medication from those in custody. Her death has led to calls for investigations and condemnations from public officials.
