Daphy Michel, a Haitian immigrant with documented mental illness, was released by ICE into 20-degree weather wearing only summer clothes. She was found frozen in a bus shelter days later. Her family is planning a lawsuit. This isn't an isolated mistake—it's a failure in basic duty of care. ICE knew her mental health status. The release happened during winter. There's no plausible explanation for why someone in her condition was put on the street unprepared. The lawsuit will likely force disclosure of internal policies on release protocols.
