I think it was this thread where someone asked for examples of the inhumane treatment of immigrants under ICE's care.
Rising toll worries activists as mass detention in US increases after Trump returned to White House in January
www.theguardian.com
We went from .5 deaths per month, up to 2 deaths per month under Trump. 15 have died so far this year without counting the shooting victim.
The total immigrant population being detained is hovering around 2x the population before Trump. So a 4x increase in deaths is concerning.
Sorry for this AI generated explanation:
year include:
External attack: On September 24, 2025, a gunman opened fire on an ICE facility in Dallas, killing one detainee before taking his own life.
Suicide: On June 7, 2025, a Mexican national named Jesus Molina-Veya died in an apparent suicide at the Stewart Detention Center in Georgia. Advocacy groups have long attributed suicides to the failure of ICE facilities to provide adequate mental health care.
Medical negligence:
Abscess and related complications: On September 21, 2025, Ismael Ayala-Uribe, a former DACA recipient, died after being hospitalized for an abscess on his buttock. His death is under investigation, with advocates pointing to documented issues of inadequate medical treatment and care at the Adelanto facility where he was held.
Heart issues: In June 2025, 75-year-old Cuban national Isidro Perez died from a heart attack in a Miami ICE facility. He was held despite having lived in the U.S. for decades.
Death in transit: In May 2025, Abelardo Avelleneda-Delgado, a 68-year-old Mexican national, died while being transported between two ICE facilities in Georgia. He was reportedly found unresponsive during the transfer.
Other medical complications: Other deaths have been attributed to various medical conditions, including liver failure, though families have sometimes questioned the official cause.
Context on overall conditions:
Overcrowding and poor care: A July 2025 report indicated that ICE facilities were operating at 140% capacity, and experts cited overcrowding, underfunded medical services, and poor oversight as factors fueling the rising death toll.
Calls for accountability: In September 2025, U.S. senators requested answers from DHS about the deaths and criticized ICE for delayed reporting.
History of preventable deaths: A 2024 report by the ACLU and Physicians for Human Rights, covering deaths from 2017 to 2021, found that 95% of those fatalities were potentially preventable with adequate medical care.
