Lawmakers are raising serious questions regarding the alarming rate of deaths in ICE custody, which have reportedly surged during the Trump administration. A group of 43 representatives, led by Reps. Dave Min and Judy Chu, has called for accountability and answers concerning the high death rates among detainees, with 15 reported fatalities. Southern California lawmakers, including Judy Chu, are demanding investigations into what they describe as gross negligence regarding medical care for immigrants. Additionally, reports indicate that nearly 1 out of 4 detainee deaths involved individuals of Asian descent, heightening concerns regarding the treatment of vulnerable populations in ICE detention.
