Trump administration, ICE

"The Trump administration has eliminated a 2021 policy requiring ICE to report detainee deaths occurring within 30 days of release. ICE will now only report deaths that occur while an individual is in active federal custody. Advocates express concern that this change obscures medical issues originating in detention. Data shows a sharp rise in mortality rates within ICE custody, reaching 88.9 per 100,000 by early 2026."
