INSIDE THE FACILITIES

48+ people have died in ICE custody since January 2025. At least 16 in 2026 alone, including a 19-year-old in a Florida jail, a man at Adelanto whose death prompted the Mexican government to demand accountability, a Vietnamese immigrant at Miami Correctional Center in Indiana (April 1), and a Mexican man found unresponsive at Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana (April 11). December 2025 was the deadliest month on record (7 deaths).
27+ deaths in FY2026 alone (since Oct 1, 2025) -- more than all of FY2025, deadliest fiscal year since 2004
1,037 credible reports of human rights abuse since Jan 2025: 206 medical neglect, 88 physical/sexual abuse, 139 denial of food or water
0 dollars ICE has paid medical providers since Oct 3, 2025. Replacement contractor (Acentra) won't begin processing claims until at least April 30, 2026.
49 inspection violations found at Camp East Montana (Fort Bliss tent city) in February 2026, including failure to document suicide-prevention checks. Three of 27 FY2026 deaths occurred there. One ruled homicide. Original $1.2B contractor terminated; replaced by $453M no-bid contract to Amentum Services.
TORTURE Senators Ossoff and Durbin launched investigation into "Alligator Alcatraz" (Everglades tent facility) after allegations of detainees confined in a cage called "the box" -- held in stress positions, hands and feet shackled, in direct sunlight, denied food and water. DHS missed the April 6 response deadline with no public answer.
