Report Details Increased Mortality in ICE Custody

A new report by Human Rights Watch and Physicians for Human Rights indicates a significant rise in deaths among individuals held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. Since the start of the current Trump administration, at least 52 fatalities have been documented. The report urges the Department of Homeland Security and Congress to take immediate action to reduce detentions and ensure adequate healthcare, citing concerns over inhumane conditions and dismantled oversight.
