Conditions at ICE detention centers are fueling a surge in suicide attempts
['Patricia Caro']
EL PAÍS in English
Since the start of Donald Trump’s anti-immigration campaign, detention centers have been overwhelmed by a massive influx of detainees.
The desperation affecting many people in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody has been reflected in a rising number of suicide attempts.
Jesús Molina-Veya took his own life in June at the Stewart Detention Center in Georgia, and Chaofeng Ge died last month at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Pennsylvania.
Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, called Ossoff’s accusations “false.” “ICE detention facilities have higher standards than most U.S. prisons that detain American citizens.
The day before, a federal judge ordered ICE officials to improve the overcrowded and unsanitary conditions for migrants in the center.
