The filing comes nearly two months after an Allegheny County medical examiner ruled Michel’s death a homicide caused by hypothermia, we reported in June. “She had mental challenges,” the family’s attorney, Joseph Murphy, told CBS in June. Around the same time as Michel’s death, ICE adopted a new federal policy that officially ended the Biden-era requirement that officials track and report deaths occurring within 30 days of a detainee’s release from custody. Their attorney said Michel’s death was preventable and reflects broader systemic failures within ICE detention. “Anybody who knew Daphy for more than one minute knew there was something wrong with her,” Murphy, the family’s attorney, recently told the Guardian.
