In January 2026, Wael Tarabishi died after spending weeks in intensive care. His family attributes his death to the absence of his father, who was his primary caregiver, due to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention. The father was detained by ICE, and despite repeated requests, ICE refused to release him. The detention prevented the father from caring for his disabled son during his illness. ICE also reportedly barred the father from attending his son's funeral. The circumstances surrounding the detention and the denial of release requests remain unclear.
