Original Date Announced
May 5, 2025In the first 100 days since the inauguration of President Trump, seven migrants have died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. For example, as reported by El Pais, Marie Blaise, a 44 year old Haitian woman died after she reported chest pain at a Florida detention center. An ACLU investigation found that most ICE custody deaths in recent years could have been prevented with proper treatment. Lawmakers and advocates are raising concerns about the medical care migrants receive while detained by ICE and the conditions inside detention centers, especially with detention numbers growing.
