Hundreds of people gathered Saturday for the burial of a young Mexican man who died in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, with family members denouncing the “fabricated” charges that led to his detention and death.
Royer Perez Jimenez, a 19-year-old from the municipality of San Juan Chamula in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, died on March 16 at a detention center in Florida.
After the family received his body on Thursday, his uncle Manuel Perez said Royer was a “hard worker” who immigrated at 15 to “triumph and help his family.”
