ICE to stop reporting deaths of recently released detainees amid scrutiny
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is ending its policy of reporting deaths of recently released detainees, a change cited by the Department of Homeland Security as 'common sense.' The previous policy required ICE to review and report fatalities up to 30 days after release, but the new directive eliminates this requirement, prompting criticism amid reports of increased detainee deaths under recent immigration enforcement measures.
