When ICE announced Chaofeng Ge's death by suspected suicide last year, they didn't mention that he was found hanging with his hands and feet tied behind his back. The account in a mortality review ICE posted (& removed) this week also suggests a very different response than initially reported.
Ge was detained at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Philipsburg. He had been in ICE custody for five days and was awaiting a hearing before the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review. MVPC staff discovered Ge hanging by the neck and unresponsive in the shower room of his detention pod at 5:21 a.m. They immediately lowered him to the ground, began CPR and contacted Phillipsburg Emergency Medical Services, the Pennsylvania State Police and the coroner’s office.On August 5, 2025, at 5:20 a.m., while conducting unit count, two detention officers (DOs) found Mr. GE, bound at the hands and feet, hanging in the handicap shower stall in C-Unit, pod 4. The DOs left the scene to inform the control officer, and the control officer called the medical emergency. Two medical staff members responded within four minutes, ordered Mr. GE's cut down from the shower stall, immediately initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), applied an automated external defibrillator (AED), and followed the prompts (no shock advised). At 5:31 a.m., custody staff called emergency medical services (EMS). At 5:44 a.m., EMS arrived and took over life saving measures; however, EMS staff were unable to resuscitate Mr. GE. At 6:03 a.m. a Clearfield County, PA, coroner pronounced Mr. GE deceased.
