Deaths in US immigration detention reach highest level on record
The number of deaths in ICE custody rose to 30 in the 2025 calendar year, surpassing all previous annual totals since records began in the early 2000s. The figure marks a sharp increase from recent years and comes as the average daily number of people held in immigration detention has also climbed to its highest level since before the pandemic.
Actually, there were 32 in 2004 so the headline isn't quite accurate.
