A viral claim circulating among leftists on social media accuses Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of abandoning a Haitian asylum seeker far from home without notifying her family, leading to her death days later.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) swiftly debunked the narrative, stating ICE had no involvement in the woman’s passing and detailing her safe release.
Daphy Michel, 31, was a Haitian national who entered the U.S. in December 2022.
Michel was arrested by local authorities in Washington County, Pennsylvania, on charges of terroristic threats and harassment.
After the charges were dismissed in February, ICE encountered her, enrolled her in the Alternatives to Detention program, fitted her with an ankle monitor, and released her from their Pittsburgh office.
According to DHS, Michel was released with all her belongings, including a fully charged phone, in sunny weather in the middle of Pittsburgh, where public transportation is readily available.
