“… In comparison, Ice reported 12 deaths in the fiscal year 2024.

Advocates and immigration attorneys say deteriorating conditions inside an already strained detention system are contributing to the rise in deaths, which has unfolded as the administration aggressively ramps up efforts to deport millions of migrants.

Under the past three administrations, the worst year saw 12 deaths in Ice custody. If the current pace continues, the total for 2025 could double those numbers.

Critics say the system is collapsing under the pressure of Ice’s target of detaining about 3,000 people each day. As of mid-June, more than 56,000 migrants were being held – that is 140% of the agency’s stated capacity.…”

Trump to visit 'Alligator Alcatraz' immigration detention facility in Florida Everglades

President Donald Trump is planning to visit a new immigration detention facility in the Florida Everglades, according to Gov. Ron DeSantis.
