- Widespread medical neglect reported across ICE detention facilities amid overcrowding — Multiple ICE detention facilities, including Stewart in Georgia and Krome in Miami, Florida, are experiencing severe medical neglect of detainees with serious health conditions. At Krome, at least three detainees have died in recent months and others with HIV have gone weeks without medication. Experts attribute the crisis to extreme overcrowding (nearly 48,000 detainees nationwide), chronic workforce shortages, and the elimination of federal oversight offices. Staff reportedly prioritize deportation over medical care, with one guard telling detainees: "Unless you're dying or bleeding out … they're not going to come."
