The push by the Department of Homeland Security to hire more than 40 doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, pharmacists and health administrators follows the revelation that nearly as many immigrants have died in custody so far this year than over the course of the Biden administration, according to government records.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has reported 20 detainee deaths in custody since President Donald Trump took office — the most in a single year in decades — compared to 24 deaths in the Biden administration. The 2025 figure was provided by the office of Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.)
…“The larger problem is that this is a system to abduct and detain people without meaningful due process,” he said. “That is inherently harmful and cannot be made humane or healthy or safe no matter how many people you throw at it.”
It is not the number of deaths that seems to be bothering the Trump administration, but the number of lawsuits because of those deaths that concerns them.
ICE is hiring dozens of health workers as lawsuits and deaths in custody mount, source.
What is happening today happened in the 1950s. It was bound to happen as we Mexicans all look the same. The Gabachos all look the same with their colorless epidermis. My Native American ancestors called them pale faces.
