A disturbing increase in the number of deaths in US immigration custody has triggered widespread concern and urgent calls for accountability. Reports indicate that deaths among detainees in ICE custody have surged significantly, with data showing an alarming rise of over 140% under the current administration. The United Nations has expressed alarm and called for prompt independent investigations into these fatalities, highlighting the need for immediate action to address the issue. The DHS watchdog has launched multiple probes into the treatment of detainees and the use of force at ICE facilities, amidst claims that official death counts may underrepresent the true scale of the crisis. Human rights organizations have echoed these calls, citing that the death rate in ICE custody is currently at its highest level in over a decade.
