<p>Canadian officials are "urgently seeking more information" after a Canadian citizen died while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at a detention center in Florida.</p>
<p>Johnny Noviello, 49, was found unresponsive on June 23 at the Bureau of Prisons Federal Detention Center in Miami, the agency said in a statement. Medical staff administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation, automated external defibrillator shock and called 911, ICE said, but Noviello was pronounced dead by the Miami Fire Rescue Department about half an hour after he was found.</p>
<p>The cause of Noviello's death is still under investigation, according to ICE.</p>
<p>"Canadian consular officials are urgently seeking more information from US officials," Foreign Minister Anita Anand said on social media. "I offer my sincere condolences to the family. In order to respect the family's privacy, further details will not be provided at this time."</p>
<p>Noviello, who became a lawful permanent resident of the United States in 1991, was convicted of charges including racketeering and drug trafficking in Volusia County, Florida, in 2023, ICE said. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison.</p>
<p>On May 15, he was arrested by ICE at a probation office, issued a notice to appear and charged with "removability," because of the controlled substance-related conviction, according to ICE.</p>
<p>Noviello's death comes as the Trump administration has ramped up immigration enforcement, sparking massive protests across the country.</p>
<p>Noviello is the 10th person to die in ICE custody during fiscal year 2025, which runs from October, according to the agency's data. Those deaths include a Haitian woman who spent more than 10 weeks in immigration custody and was held in allegedly inhumane conditions.</p>
<p>"ICE remains committed to ensuring that all those in its custody reside in safe, secure, and humane environments," the agency said. "Comprehensive medical care is provided from the moment individuals arrive and throughout the entirety of their stay."</p>
