ICE Stops Reporting Post-Release Deaths

ICE is quietly rewriting the rules on reporting deaths — now excluding anyone who dies within 30 days of release, reversing a prior mandate to investigate such cases. Officials call it “common sense,” saying their duty ends at release. But advocates and doctors warn this loophole could hide systemic failures in detention care, especially since many deaths may still stem from conditions developed behind bars. With ICE custody deaths already soaring, critics see this move as a dangerous step toward hiding the true toll of immigration detention — all while the agency continues to receive billions in federal funding.
