"Overcrowding with more than 60,000 people in custody nationwide inadequate and, in many cases, unsanitary facilities, and reports of inhumane treatment have led to continuous complaints from both detainees and advocacy organizations. The desperation affecting many people in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody has been reflected in a rising number of suicide attempts. In two cases, these attempts ended in death."
"The lack of adequate medical care both physical and mental difficulties accessing medication, as well as grief over family separation and the anxiety experienced by many detainees, are increasing suicidal thoughts among those deprived of liberty as part of Trump's anti-immigrant campaign. The New York Times obtained reports and recordings of emergency calls revealing suicide attempts. In April, at least two attempts occurred in Tacoma, Washington, at the Northwest ICE Processing Center,"
Detention centers have been overwhelmed since the start of the anti-immigration campaign, with more than 60,000 people in custody nationwide. Many facilities are inadequate, unsanitary, and report instances of inhumane treatment, prompting continuous complaints. Suicidal behavior among detainees has risen, with multiple suicide attempts and at least two confirmed deaths: Jesus Molina-Veya and Chaofeng Ge. Lack of adequate physical and mental health care, difficulty accessing medication, family separation, and anxiety have worsened detainees' mental states. Emergency call recordings and incident reports document attempts. Legal petitions such as habeas corpus provide examples of prolonged detention and deteriorating mental health.
