Summary

Three people died in ICE custody in April, bringing the total deaths under Trump’s current term to at least seven. Victims include Brayan Garzón-Rayo, Nhon Nguc Nguyen, and Marie Ange Blaise, whose case raised questions about denied medical care.

ICE faces criticism over overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and lack of oversight as detainee numbers near 50,000.

Advocates cite systemic neglect and worsening conditions amid Trump’s aggressive deportation campaign.

Human rights groups filed lawsuits over DHS office closures, and hunger strikes, protests, and investigations continue nationwide as detainees report abuse and deteriorating mental health care.

    This sounds like a win for the administration. No more costs to house them, or to deport them.

      These are people who could be working into the system both as a cog in the economy and contributor to taxes. No slave camps needed when current caste capitalism has them willingly sweating away for bare minimum pay and putting it back into living costs!

      In other words, the administration probably feels great about themselves, but it’s a Bad Deal™
