Mr. Sim lived in the US for 43 years. He was ordered deported 20 years ago after a larceny conviction. Because Cambodia wasn’t accepting deportations, he was allowed to stay on an order of supervision.
After 20 years, he was suddenly arrested at an ICE check-in and sent to detention, where he died.

Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.
