Newly disclosed documents have intensified scrutiny surrounding the April death of Marie Ange Blaise, a 44-year-old Haitian woman detained at a Florida immigration facility. Records obtained by CGTN indicate Blaise held valid U.S. work authorization and legal status, raising concerns about whether her detention by ICE was justified.
Authorities have yet to clarify why Blaise was held despite her apparent compliance with immigration regulations. Advocates question the adequacy of medical care provided during her custody, with human rights groups calling for transparent investigations into detention protocols.
This case highlights broader debates about U.S. immigration enforcement practices, particularly affecting communities with significant Asian diaspora ties. Analysts note that detention policies often impact migrant groups from multiple continents, including those with familial and economic connections to Asia.
