Died in immigration detentionHeld by ICE
Adrian Andreas Florian
Adrian Florian, 85, a man from Germany, died on June 24, 2026, in Harlingen, Texas, while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE's detainee death report places his death at the Port Isabel Service Processing Center, while a Substack post by Austin Kocher says he had been hospitalized at Valley Baptist Medical Center since November 2025 and died there. ICE has listed the cause of death as pending an autopsy. Kocher questions why he received more medical care than many others held by ICE and asks whether racial bias may have played a role, presenting this as a question rather than an accusation.
