ICE cannot be allowed to hide its death count

The reality is that ICE has a long track record of abusing detainees. A 2022 survey of 85 clinicians found that of the roughly 1,300 patients they had treated, all of them had experienced adverse health conditions related to their time in detention. This includes patients “with vaccine-preventable conditions acquired in detention,” “whose medication was taken away or denied access to” and “with chronic conditions that worsened during detention.”
A 2024 report on preventable deaths in immigration detention centers similarly found that 95 percent of deaths reported by ICE between 2017 and 2021 would have been preventable if adequate medical care had been provided.
Ultimately, Homeland Security must be held responsible for its treatment of detainees. Policies requiring ICE to report on deaths, including those occurring after detainees are released, are crucial for ensuring transparency and accountability.

Or what? They'll kill even more? The public and it's representatives don't seem to give a shit.
I question why the non-fascist reps aren't visiting these places daily. Set a schedule, have someone from congress showing up so often they keep in compliance. Not like they are going to get much done in congress, go inspect and annoy ICE and their collaborators instead.
They ate not allowed access
Surely THIS comment will be the one to change all that.
Should we only post when it changes the world?
Says who? Cause I sure as hell haven't seen anyone in a position of power do a damn thing about it. I haven't even heard of any leftist politicians hold feet to the fire about detainees that have disappeared. The best example we probably have of focused attention on one specific detainee is Kilmar Abrego Garcia and he wasn't killed thankfully.
Have the concentration camps become death camps?
