WASHINGTON D.C. —A report, Fatal Neglect: How ICE Inspections Ignore Deaths in Detention, released today by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Detention Watch Network (DWN) and the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), examines egregious violations of medical standards by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that played a significant role in the deaths of eight people in detention centers across the country.
During the Obama administration, 56 individuals have died while in ICE custody. This report focuses on eight deaths during a three-year period (2010 to 2012). Based on documentation from ICE investigations conducted after each death, which the ACLU received through a Freedom of Information Act request, the report shows that violations of ICE’s medical standards contributed to the deaths. More perniciously, additional research shows that ICE inspections of the detention facilities before and after these deaths failed to acknowledge — or sometimes dismissed — the substandard medical care.
“There is no guarantee that people detained by ICE will leave detention alive, even under Obama administration policies that sought to decrease the number of people who die in ICE custody,” said Mary Meg McCarthy, Executive Director of NIJC. “ICE has a mandate to care for the people in their custody. If detention centers cannot deliver prompt and quality medical care, ICE must implement corrective actions for those facilities or terminate contracts with facilities that do not comply.”
Among the report findings:
In nearly half of the 17 death reviews produced by ICE from 2010 to 2012, the documentation suggests that failure to comply with ICE medical standards contributed to deaths.
Even in the eight cases where death reviews concluded that violations of ICE medical standards contributed to people’s deaths, ICE’s deficient inspections system essentially swept those findings under the rug.
Three of the eight cases profiled led to wrongful death lawsuits by family members.
Six deaths involving substandard care occurred at privately operated facilities.
The findings underscore how ICE’s deficient inspections system, first exposed by NIJC and DWN in the October 2015 report Lives in Peril, exacts a tragic human toll. ICE has repeatedly shown it is incapable of providing people in its custody the medical care they need and deserve —even failing to implement its own medical standards to prevent deaths. People experiencing medical or mental health emergencies should be released from custody and promptly referred to higher-level care.
“Immigration detention in the United States should not be a death sentence,” said Silky Shah, Co-Director of Detention Watch Network. “No matter where someone came from or how they arrived in the United States they must be treated with dignity and respect. ICE has a legal obligation to perform meaningful inspections at all detention facilities – and it is critical that it implement immediate reforms to guarantee deaths are prevented.”
“ICE’s inadequate responses to these deaths show the stark gap between the promise and the reality of the Obama administration’s immigration detention reform initiatives,” said Carl Takei, Staff Attorney at the National Prison Project of the ACLU. “Instead of ignoring its own internal investigations, ICE must learn from its deadly errors. That means providing swift, quality medical care to those who need it, and overhauling the inspections process to stop more people from dying in detention. No family deserves to wonder if their loved one died a preventable death in ICE custody.“

They will only read that which appeals to them. Like, exchanging rugged individualism to something else.
@Mott-The-Hoople saidThey did though.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidMy God you're right; ICE should be immediately abolished.

@AverageJoe1 saidWhat I remember from that time was that there were many protests over Obama's strict immigration policies. He was called the "deporter-in-chief" by Democrat politicians. News of immigrant deaths in detention were widely reported. The homeland security chief was under fire for months over deportation raids of immigrant homes. These were huge stories.

Do you and Mott really not remember that? Or did you forget? Or maybe your so deep in a media bubble you never saw it?
@no1marauder saidThere’s marauder weighing in. Do you know that the Democrats are preparing to shut down the government again totally because they do not want funding for protecting the safety of Americans. I swear, Marauder.
My God you're right; ICE should be immediately abolished.
Hey, how about you start a thread on Trump warning Cuba to get their act together, and stating that Cuba will no longer receive money or oil. Maybe you can say that Trump wants to build a resort in Cuba. That would suit me just fine. I’ve been there and it’s beautiful place so I’m they say that it is the original garden of Eden. I found that a stretch, the flora/fauna is not quite what you would imagine in the garden of Eden..
@AverageJoe1 saidICE should have been defunded by DOGE in the interest of cutting costs. It's a completely redundant organization with border patrol.
If the Dems get funding stopped 😆😆, will they go after defunding the military next?
If O or Biden had done that, we would not have had those tremendous B2 bombers that allowed us to waste Iranian facilities.
Yeah, you’re thinking I have a point.
And if y'all think the Simali daycares in Minnesota are wasting money, wait till you see what's happening in the Pentagon budget. Wowza.

@Mott-The-Hoople said"Thirty-two people died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in 2025 – making it the agency’s deadliest year in more than two decades, as the Trump administration moved to detain a record number of people."

The OP says 56 people died in custody during Obama's Presidency; that's 7 a year. So, your "new sheriff" is responsible for a death rate more than 4 times as high.

So, who is leader of your/our party? Is it, is it, who is it? We need to latch on!!!
Oh, and list a few of your policies if any, considering that my granny has been telling me that your platform is to get Trump brought down. (From where...where IS Trump?)
@no1marauder saidThese numbers are probably going to go up this year. It's difficult to say for sure, or even trust what the real numbers are, since they aren't letting people into the facilities for inspections.
