So many grim stories of dreadful abuses. Here's just one about a family at the detention center in Dilley, Texas run by the private prison firm CoreCivic. An eleven year old girl has lost part of her hearing. Her mother described a worker mocking children waiting for medicine in long lines.
One mother and father from Russia, who have been at Dilley since October, said in a sworn declaration and in an interview that when they arrived, their 11-year-old daughter had an earache, but the medical staff did a cursory examination and dismissed them. They returned repeatedly as their daughter developed a fever of 104 degrees, only to be told her problems were caused by allergies, they said. She was eventually given ear drops and antibiotics, but she lost some of her hearing and was still in pain as her family noticed pus coming from her ear. As of last week, her hearing had still not fully returned, they said.

The mother, whose name is Oksana, said that patients at Dilley who need medicine often must wait in long lines, outside in the evening. One worker mocked the children crying in line, she said. Oksana and other detainees spoke on the condition that their last names be withheld because they were afraid of retaliation.

The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed that it needs to send the military into American cities because of the unique danger faced by federal agents. But, according to ICE's own data, the leading cause of death for agents is COVID-19. You can read the full report here: tinyurl.com/mwc85xf5
A bar graph listing the causes of death listed on ICE's wall of honor. 

COVID-19 and cancers linked to 9/11 account for 75 percent of fatalities in ICE's two decade history, according to the agency's record. 

COVID-19: 15 deaths
September 11-related illness: 7 deaths
Stuck by car: 1 death
Shot in Mexico: 1 death
Shot by US-born fugitive: 1 death
Heat-related injuries sustained during training exercise: 1 death
Heart attack during foot pursuit: 1 death
Dengue fever: 1 death
Accidental discharge of a service weapon: 1 death
