ICE will no longer report deaths of detainees who have recently been released from custody
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will no longer report deaths of detainees who die shortly after release from custody, reversing a 2021 policy under the Biden administration. Health experts criticize the change, arguing it obscures accountability for inadequate care in detention and prevents tracking of preventable deaths.
