ICE Reports 19th Death of 2026: Georgian National Mamuka Artmeladze dies at Winn. Mamuka was not a public safety threat, may not have broken a single law, couldn't be deported, and shouldn't have been arrested. ICE forced taxpayers to pay $18,000 detaining him anyway. https://austinkocher.substack.com/p/ice-reports-19th-death-of-2026-georgian
