A Haitian man confined at an Arizona immigration detention center for months after the denial of his asylum application has died in the hospital. The man's brother says Wednesday that 56-year-old Emmanuel Damas told officers he had a toothache in mid-February but was not sent to a dentist. Damas is among least nine people who have died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody this year. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A report from the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office says Damas’ cause of death is pending.
