Haitian asylum seeker Daphy Michel died of cardiac arrest in Pittsburgh after being released without family notification, sparking scrutiny of ICE’s post-release protocols.
Daphy Michel, a 31-year-old Haitian asylum seeker, died of cardiac arrest on March 2, 2026, after being found unresponsive at a Pittsburgh bus shelter.
She had been released from Washington County Jail following dismissal of misdemeanor charges and was enrolled in ICE’s Alternatives to Detention program.
Her brother said she appeared healthy at her last court appearance, but she was left at a bus stop without notification to her family.
An ICE tamper alert triggered after her death, and the medical examiner has not yet released a cause.
Michel had entered the U.S. legally in 2022, was granted humanitarian parole, and had a pending asylum hearing.
Her death adds to concerns over immigration enforcement practices and post-release support.
