The conditions in the private immigration prisons in this country has been intolerable since the exponential expansion of those facilities that took place with the formation of DHS. For example, see Tom Barry's 2009 "A Death in Texas: Where profits, poverty, and immigration converge."
The felon's regime has taken the intolerable to an unimaginable level.
WRT the American Prospect tracking. 48 deaths in custody is just the tip of an iceberg. They acknowledge these numbers are underestimates with the following disclaimer:
Our data sets are incomplete and do not show the comprehensive number of people federal agents have killed and injured. News outlets and advocacy groups do not capture every death; governmental data hides certain information and is inconsistent across reporting channels. The Southwest Border Deaths Subject Data for fiscal year 2025, for example, recorded nearly 200 deaths for the period but lacks details about how each person died. We have only listed people when we could verify that an agent was involved in their death. The data set for injuries shows only a fraction of the people agents have hurt and typically only includes injuries that were reported and required medical aid.
Nevertheless, the American Prospect is doing important work and this is a page worth bookmarking. The list includes names, dates, and circumstances. Make sure your fully expand each list by clicking the Read More link at the bottom.
