Immigration Detention Abuse

Detainees at a federal immigration facility in Mississippi have alleged they were sickened by a gas leak and subsequently denied medical care. The facility, an ICE detention center operated by CoreCivic in Adams County, also reportedly experienced a two-day power outage that left it without air conditioning during extreme heat. Separately, a Guatemalan immigrant died after experiencing a medical emergency at a New Jersey ICE detention center, marking the third death at the Delaney Hall facility since its reopening in May 2025.

Further concerns regarding ICE practices include the agency's plan to equip agents with specialized gloves capable of delivering electric shocks. This initiative, costing millions, is intended to subdue individuals by inflicting intense, localized pain to compel compliance. Additionally, footage has emerged of an ICE agent pointing a gun at a woman in Virginia, which has been examined by BBC Verify.
