Sheldon WhitehousePadilla, Durbin, Senate Democrats Sound Alarm on Dramatic Increase in Deaths in Immigration Detention
Feb. 17, 2026"This rapidly increasing number of deaths is a clear byproduct of the Trump Administration's dangerous and poorly executed mass deportation agenda—one focused on detaining as many immigrants as possible, not just the 'worst of the worst,' for extended periods of time. We urge you to use the unprecedented resources at your disposal to reinvigorate your agency's detention oversight efforts, investigate these deaths, and provide those in your custody with adequate medical care."
