He had been in the U.S. since 1988, became a legal permanent resident in 1991
Don't Call It a System, It's a Machine.
Another death. Another name. Another body.
This time, it was Johnny Noviello, a 49-year-old Canadian citizen who died in ICE custody at a Florida detention center.
He was found unresponsive on June 23rd.
The guards tried CPR. They called paramedics.
But you know how this story ends:
He died in a concrete cage, under fluorescent lights, on American soil.
And the machine kept humming.
The Death Toll Rises. And Rises. And Rises.
By ICE's own count, nearly a dozen people have died in their custody since October 2024.
And those are just the ones they admit to.
ICE claims transparency.
ICE claims procedure.
ICE claims oversight.
But people keep dying.
And Congress keeps getting told “we're doing our best.”
How many deaths does it take before “policy” becomes a pattern?
How many until the pattern becomes intent?
You're Meant to Get Used to It
Noviello entered the U.S. legally in 1988. He'd held a green card since 1991.
He was convicted of drug charges in Florida in 2023, sentenced to 12 months.
After serving his time, ICE showed up. They slapped him with a removal notice.
Then they locked him in a federal detention center and waited.
He died before they deported him.
This is the reality of ICE today:
- A dragnet with no exit.
- A prison system with no sentence.
- A death trap where due process goes to die.
The Lie of "Public Safety"
Trump's regime brags about deporting “violent criminals.”
But ICE's own data exposes the lie:
- Only 8% of ICE detainees since October were convicted of serious crimes.
- Over 75% were locked up for non-violent charges, traffic stops, misdemeanors, petty offenses.
This isn't public safety.
It's population control.
They're not hunting criminals.
They're building cages for anyone they can justify vanishing.
This Isn't a System. It's a Machine.
And machines don't feel shame.
They just process inputs.
Name. Nationality. Minor conviction.
Input. Detain. Dehumanize. Disappear.
Output: Death.
ICE isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed.
And Johnny Noviello is just the latest receipt.
Hold the Line. Tell the Truth.
Don't let them turn this into paperwork.
Don't let them hide behind the cold language of policy.
A man died in their custody.
A Canadian citizen. In Florida. In 2025.
The machine took another life,
and it will keep taking more unless we stop it.
Call it what it is.
Not a system.
Not a mistake.
Not a tragedy.
It's a state-sanctioned purge in slow motion.
And the silence is complicity.
Say His Name. And Then Break the Machine.
Johnny Noviello.
Say it.
Remember it.
Use it.
One more death is one too many.
The time to be shocked is over.
Now we resist. Now we shine.
Now we cut the power to the machine.
