The Trump administration has removed crucial reporting requirements, making it easier for ICE to try to escape accountability when people die shortly after being released from their custody. No one should die because of ICE's dangerous detention conditions.

Deaths in ICE Detention More Than Doubles Under Trump

Death rate could be higher if it includes hidden deaths of people released from detention that ICE is reporting under Trump administration.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.
