We’re enraged and heartbroken by the rising deaths in ICE custody. Huabing Xie, from China, died Sept 29 after being held at Imperial Regional Detention Facility. At least 20 people have died since Trump took office as he moves to triple ICE detention by the end of this year. #CommunitiesNotCages

Jesus Molina-Veya's death is a tragedy. In detention people are subjected to isolation, uncertainty, & abysmal conditions, including inadequate medical care & mental health services. It is a lethal combination that puts lives in jeopardy. #abolishdetention
