Report: Most Immigration Detention Deaths Preventable
News summary

A recent report by the ACLU, Physicians for Human Rights, and American Oversight reveals that almost all deaths in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody between 2017 and 2021 could have been avoided with proper medical care. Of the 52 deaths studied, 49 were deemed preventable due to failures in medical and mental health care by ICE. Medical experts highlighted issues such as incomplete diagnoses and delayed treatment in the majority of cases. The report underscores systemic failures in ICE's oversight and the dangers of long-term immigrant detention. Despite ICE's claims of providing comprehensive healthcare, the report raises concerns about the lack of accountability and the need for improved conditions in detention facilities. The report also points out that ICE's internal oversight mechanisms have not effectively addressed the preventable deaths in custody.
