🧵Missed diagnoses, delayed treatment and poor medical care are driving record deaths in ICE custody.

@kolyncheang.bsky.social and I spent months investigating the deaths of ICE detainees across the US. Over and over again, we found lapses in treatment that proved fatal.

May their memories be a blessing and it doesn’t make up for it obviously but I hope they get a boat load of money from the feds one day.

Ismael Ayala-Uribe complained about rectal pain. ICE med staff gave him stool softeners, but didn't actually examine him, and never found the abscess that later flooded his body with toxic bacteria and killed him.

A doctor who reviewed his death for us called it "absolute medical malpractice."

We reviewed hundreds of pages of ICE death reports, autopsies, and other records from 32 deaths with a total of 14 doctors.

Doctors determined that at least 17 times, people died after medical staff delayed or failed to provide critical care that might have saved their lives

Been looking for a resource like this, hoping someone with the ability and wherewithal was doing this. Thank you so much for this much needed work.

Passive murder is still murder.
Deny adequate, clean food, adequate clean water and appropriate medical care, and people d1e. Just ask anyone trying to survive in a red state.
