Relatives of Venezuelan who died in ICE custody seek to repatriate his body

The article reports on the death of Jesús Manuel Arenas, a Venezuelan man detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which his family claims was caused by being struck during custody. The incident occurred four days after his arrest in Georgia on July 9th, and his body was reported missing until July 13th. His family disputes the official explanation of a respiratory arrest, alleging he was physically assaulted while in detention. They claim he had a psychiatric condition requiring daily medication, but was only allowed to take one dose before being detained. The family is demanding an independent investigation into the circumstances of his death.
