Security footage from Pittsburgh shows Daphy Michel, a 31-year-old asylum seeker from Haiti, sitting on a bus stop bench for days in cold temperatures. This occurred following her release from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.
The video footage reveals Michel wearing a hooded sweatshirt as the temperature dropped to freezing. She had been released just hours earlier. Michel faced arrest by local authorities after experiencing a mental health episode.
The conditions captured in the footage raise concerns about the treatment and support provided to asylum seekers in the United States, particularly during challenging weather conditions.
