ICE Sued for Autopsies as Custody Death Count Mounts
By Billal Rahman


Immigration detention facilities have faced rising scrutiny of their conditions as the detained population has grown significantly under the second Trump administration. As of April 4, ICE was holding 60,311 people in detention, according to Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse data. The nonprofit's data shows that figure as 39,703 on January 12, 2025—about a week before Trump returned to office.
