The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) announced that it will stop offering reports on the deaths of foreigners lacking legal status who occur within 30 days after their release from temporary detention centers.

According to a group of Democratic legislators, since the beginning of Donald Trump's second term as head of the White House, there have been 49 deaths of immigrants in ICE custody.

Added to this is an analysis carried out by the ABC News television network on the immigration data shared by ICE before Congress.

They show how the number of people who died after being deprived of their liberty in ICE temporary detention centers in the first 14 months of the second Trump administration is the deadliest for the federal detention system in recent years.

The controversial thing about this is that, while the New York magnate intends not only to downplay the importance of the deaths of foreigners lacking legal status temporarily deprived of their freedom, even ceasing to disseminate monitoring of the number accumulated each year; During the administration headed by Joe Biden, all deaths of detained immigrants were announced, including those that occurred a few days after being released.

However, the new policy ordered from Washington indicates that, when an immigrant is no longer in ICE custody, the federal agency will stop monitoring or reviewing whether he or she loses his or her life in the following days.

"This is common sense. ICE is not responsible when a person dies weeks after leaving its custody," said a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson in a statement released by ABC News television.

The point is that there are some testimonies from relatives or friends of immigrants denouncing how the poor conditions in which some detention centers are found and the treatment of the staff towards detained foreigners end up affecting their health and in more extreme cases even cost them their lives days after being released.
