Jesús Molina Veya
Jesús Molina Veya, a 45-year-old Mexican national, was in the news following his tragic death on June 7, 2023, while in custody at the ICE detention center in Stewart, Georgia. He was found unconscious with a ligature around his neck, leading to questions about the circumstances surrounding his death. Molina Veya had a history of multiple unauthorized entries into the United States and was previously detained for various offenses, including aggression and drug possession.
