在唐纳德·特朗普总统的强硬移民打击政策下，ICE拘留的人数已达到历史最高水平，去年死亡人数也攀升至20年来的高点。截至2月初，ICE约有68,000人被拘留，而特朗普上任时这一数字为40,000人。
据ICE称，西姆于1983年作为难民来到美国，并于1986年成为永久居民。
ICE表示，他于去年12月在波士顿被捕并拘留，移民法官曾于2006年下令将其驱逐回柬埔寨。ICE补充说，西姆此前曾因扰乱治安、猥亵暴露和盗窃罪被捕，并被判处缓刑和缓刑监督。

民主党人和民权组织批评了ICE拘留设施的条件，称其不人道。
本月早些时候，在加沙失去数十名家人的巴勒斯坦妇女莱卡·科迪亚（Leqaa Kordia）在美国移民拘留期间因癫痫发作住院三天。33岁的巴勒斯坦穆斯林妇女科迪亚（其母亲是美国公民）表示，她在住院期间被戴上脚镣。
ICE曾表示，它确保被拘留者获得适当医疗护理，联邦政府否认对被拘留者进行不人道对待。
1月3日古巴移民杰拉尔多·卢纳斯·坎波斯（Geraldo Lunas Campos）在德克萨斯州拘留中心死亡后，ICE受到了特别关注。
埃尔帕索县法医称，该死亡事件是一起凶杀案，死因是颈部和躯干压迫导致窒息。《华盛顿邮报》的报道援引一名目击者的话说，狱警对卢纳斯进行了扼颈。

Cambodian national dies in ICE custody in Indiana
February 18, 2026 10:47 PM UTC / Reuters / By Kanishka Singh
WASHINGTON, Feb 18 (Reuters) – A detainee died in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Indiana on Monday, with the cause of death under investigation, ICE said on Wednesday, marking at least the seventh death in 2026 in federal immigration custody.
Lorth Sim, a 59-year-old Cambodian national, was being held at the Miami Correctional Facility. Staff found him unresponsive in his cell, ICE said in a statement.

Under U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown, the number of people detained by ICE has risen to record levels, with deaths also climbing to a two-decade high last year. ICE had some 68,000 people in custody as of early February, up from 40,000 when Trump took office.
Sim came to the U.S. as a refugee in 1983 and became a permanent resident in 1986, according to ICE.
He was arrested and detained in December in Boston, ICE said, adding that an immigration judge had ordered his removal to Cambodia in 2006. ICE said Sim had been arrested previously for disorderly conduct, indecent exposure and larceny and received a suspended sentence and probation.

Democrats and civil rights groups have criticized conditions in ICE detention facilities, calling the conditions inhumane.
Earlier this month, Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian woman who lost dozens of family members in Gaza, was hospitalized for three days following a seizure in U.S. immigration detention. Kordia, a 33-year-old Muslim Palestinian woman whose mother is a U.S. citizen, said she was chained during her hospitalization.
ICE has said it ensures detainees receive proper medical care and the federal government has denied treating detainees inhumanely.
ICE has come under particular scrutiny following the death of Cuban immigrant Geraldo Lunas Campos in a Texas detention center on January 3.
The El Paso County medical examiner said the death was a homicide due to asphyxia from neck and torso compression and a report by the Washington Post cited a witness who said guards choked Lunas.
