PITTSBURGH —

Dozens of Pittsburghers held a vigil Sunday night for Daphy Michel, who died on March 2, days after being released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody with an ankle monitor.

“He was feeling sad. But he’s very grateful to see all of those people who didn’t know her. And then come here tonight to support her,” Carlo Michel said through his interpreter. “[She] was really appreciative, like, love people.

Immigration attorney Joseph Murphy is assisting the family in their efforts to uncover what happened between Michel’s release from ICE offices on Pittsburgh’s South Side on Feb. 27 and her death on March 2. He said they sent out document preservation requests last week.

“We want them to not record over and preserve this information. There’s surveillance cameras all over this place. The monitoring equipment. It was on Daphy. We keep track where she went.
