A 19-year-old Mexican immigrant died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody this week, according to a notice sent to lawmakers.<\/p>\n

Royer Perez-Jimenez, 19, died March 16 at the Glades County Detention Center in Moore Haven, Florida, according to the notice from ICE that was reviewed by ABC News.<\/p>\n

Perez-Jimenez is the 44th person to die in ICE custody<\/a> during the second Trump administration, according to lawmakers.<\/p>\n

“He died of a presumed suicide; however, the official cause of his death remains under investigation,” ICE stated.<\/p>\n

In the notice, ICE said the 19-year-old entered the United States from Mexico on Feb. 19, 2022, and was granted voluntary return. On an unknown date, according to ICE, he reentered the U.S.<\/p>\n

The notice said Perez-Jimenez was arrested in Florida and charged with felony fraud for impersonation and misdemeanor resisting an officer. ABC News has not verified this claim from the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n

“ICE placed an immigration detainer on him that same day, and he was transferred into ICE custody on February 21, 2026,” the agency said in the notice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ABC News reached out to DHS for comment.<\/p>\n
