ACLU Report: Preventable Deaths in ICE Detention

New findings reveal systemic medical neglect and oversight failures in ICE facilities from 2017 to 2021.

A study reviewed 52 deaths in ICE custody, finding 49 were preventable with proper medical care.
The report cites inadequate medical care, misdiagnoses, and falsified documentation as key issues.
Mental health care deficiencies and increased suicides were also highlighted.
The report calls for the release of vulnerable detainees and improved medical oversight.
ICE has not terminated any facility agreements despite documented failures.
