AP: ICE detainees dying by suicide at 'alarming' rate
An Associated Press investigation found that at least 10 detainees in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody died by suicide since January 2025, including seven this fiscal year, the agency's highest annual total. Those suicides account for nearly a fifth of the 51 deaths ICE documented in custody since January 2025, and multiple cases involved detainees held in isolation or under restrictive conditions. The AP report links the pattern to staffing shortfalls, gaps in mental health care, and detention practices, a finding that could prompt congressional oversight, litigation, or policy changes.
An AP investigation today details that ICE detainees are dying by suicide at an 'alarming' rate. When does this antihumanitarian nightmare end? This is utterly unacceptable in a sane & civil democracy. When are the courts going to end this madness. At least pause it and investigate this horror show.
pinkducky710.bsky.social16We REALLY aren’t mad enough! ANYONE who hasn’t ALREADY changed your federal W4 to EXEMPT is currently, actively and KNOWINGLY funding criminals and terrorists! Trump has TOLD YOU directly that he DOES NOT represent you! NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!
Doctor Synth10Likely victims are being murdered by the ICE domestic terrorists, who are covering up the murders by calling them suicides.
elizmadsen.bsky.social9For-profit prisons should not exist. Their owners are getting rich off of the misery of people who should not be imprisoned.
Andy Gold8The only thing missing from trump's concentration camps are the ovens. (Right??)
Ann T. Social7No one thinks it’s their responsibility to solve it. Always someone else’s job.
The Shadow Knows5But are they really dying of suicide, or is that just the cause of death listed in the reports? Sorry, I just don't trust anything that comes from this administration.
Buddy Beaver4America’s concentration camps are becoming death camps quicker than they did in Germany.
boring-person.bsky.social3The U.S. hasn’t been a sane and civil democracy in decades. Wake up.
truetanker.bsky.social3I just have to wonder, though. Suicide? Or "suicide"?
Nofriendo Entertainment System3If history serves, it'll end with foreign intervention...
un poco loco2Not saying that conditions are not appalling in ICE detention (they clearly are) but I'd bet more than a few of those "suicides" are "assisted"...
YICYAC2lol… the courts are the enablers. This is why they were put there…
nan-sees2We need to end it Or we will be ended Let’s appointment a Secretary of Offense It’s way beyond time Not the game, rules or opponent, we chose but the one we must win We are not spectators We are on the field losing to evil
"ICE detainees are dying by suicide at an ‘alarming’ rate, an AP investigation finds"
CRobertBuchanan5The GOP is running death-camps and the sooner the press starts reporting that reality the better. They have a taste for mass-killing now, and they believe they have immunity from accountability. They will keep escalating until they are stopped.
Kim3I'll bet big $ the Republicans in charge do not care. They want to get millions of immigrants out of the USA, how that happens is of no concern to these racists.
