Authorities transferred 55-year-old Gabriel Johnson to a hospital following the emergence of stroke-like symptoms during his detention. His family now fears for his health and well-being under these circumstances.
Gabriel Johnson arrived in the United States in his teenage years and was granted a withholding of removal, which protects him from deportation to Liberia. Despite this status, he was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over two weeks ago.
Leila Register from NBC News, along with Getty Images and the Johnson Family, reported his condition as of August 8, 2026, at 6:00 AM EDT.
His daughter, Gabri Johnson, received distressing news about her father’s hospitalization in Texas. He had suffered a stroke, which has left the family deeply concerned. Since the incident, ICE has not provided them with information regarding his medical condition or the care he’s receiving.
