Immigration

Newsworthy News - New evidence suggests federal immigration detention is failing vulnerable men at a pace that should alarm anyone who cares about basic duty of care and government accountability.

The Associated Press reviewed death notifications, autopsies, coroner rulings, and police and emergency medical services records tied to 51 detainee deaths since January 2025.

Homeland Security says suicide remains extremely rare in immigration custody and argues the raw count does not tell the full story.

A peer-reviewed 2020 study found suicide rates in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention rose sharply compared with the prior decade.

The Guardian -    In late January, the Trump administration was planning a war in Iran, weighing possible airstrikes and staging aircraft carriers and other military ships in the region. Around that time, government officials deported 18 people to Iran, the last of them arriving just days before American and Israeli bombs began falling across the country.   These deportations were the latest in an aggressive campaign to deport Iranians from the United States, the first time in recent history the US government had done so in large numbers. In the 13 months of Donald Trump’s presidency leading up to the war, the United States deported more than 200 people to Iran, even as the state department decried human rights abuses by the Iranian government and warned US citizens not to travel there “for any reason”.

The US government deported more than 21,000 people to countries that the state department deemed too dangerous to visit, according to a Marshall Project analysis of Immigration and Customs Enforcement data obtained by the Deportation Data Project from Trump’s inauguration through mid-March.
