The death of a Haitian asylum seeker whose body was found days after she was released from ICE custody has been ruled a homicide.
Maintenance works found Daphy Michel, 31, lying on the ground in a bus shelter, alone and unresponsive, on the morning of March 2, three days after she was released from an ICE office in Pittsburgh.
