The death rate inside U.S. immigration detention centers has more than doubled during Donald Trump’s second stint in the White House.
Fifty people have died in Department of Homeland Security custody since the president began his deportation blitz right after retaking office last January, according to an explosive Reuters analysis of ICE figures, published by Reuters Wednesday.
Immigration facilities, between 2009 and 2024, logged one fatality a year for every 3,848 people held, the news agency reports. That ratio has since jumped to one death per 1,630 detainees, according to provisional figures through early June.
