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.
Given that Trump has fired several immigrants judges (hard to get a good number but at least 20 it seems) since the start of his term he actually doesn’t care about processing cases as quickly as possible. Cruelty is the point. They’re hoping people will “self-deport” out of fear.
