Mexican Immigrant Dies in ICE Custody, 14th This Year

0:00On March 30th, a Mexican immigrant named Jose Guadalupe Ramos died in ice custody at the Adelanteo Processing Center near Los Angeles on March 25th. That's at least the 14th death in ice detention this year, according to officials. Security staff found him unconscious in his bunk, called medical help right away and rushed him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. IC released those details in a statement on Monday. This comes amid President Trump's mass deportation push since he took office last year with detention numbers hitting a record 68,000. By early February, critics call it harsh and dangerous for those locked up. Last year saw 31 deaths in ice facilities, the highest in two decades, and the current rate could top that mark before the year ends. As these numbers climb, questions grow about conditions in these centers and the human costs of the crackdown. Stay tuned for more on how this unfolds.
