We’ve known that Trump’s cruel deportation agenda would rely on aggressive, multi-layered detention expansion at all costs — including at the expense of Americans receiving lifesaving healthcare & millions of kids having school lunches, but the scope, scale and human toll, continue to be shocking.

There have been over 22 deaths in ICE custody since Trump’s inauguration, a record number of deaths within a calendar year since DWN began tracking in 2006. Take action as we collectively honor, remember, and grieve lives lost in ICE custody. #deadlydetention

The mass detention and deportation agenda is driven by a racist compulsion, as the administration will stop at nothing to dehumanize and vilify immigrants, including jeopardizing the safety and well-being of everyone in this country.

Trump has proliferated ICE operations into other agencies, including the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Defense, and expanded partnerships with sheriffs and jails. People are funneled into ICE’s private prisons, jails, state/federal prisons & makeshift camps often sowing fear and confusion.

At least 14 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump took office in January. At least 26 people died in ICE custody during the Biden administration. It’s alarming that within the first eight months of the Trump admin there were more than half the number of deaths that occurred under Biden.

According to Transnational Records Clearing House (TRAC) the Central Arizona Correctional Complex exceeded its capacity in 2025, at times detaining over 100 people beyond capacity. ICE is a deadly agency, jailing immigrants in deplorable conditions across the country. tracreports.org/reports/762/
