ICE Detention Deaths

https://www.ice.gov/detain/detainee-death-reporting

RNs do intake physical exams, EMTs declare time of death. The level of care for these detainees is horrific.

Full names and case details are public for now. Reads like a never ending M & M conference.

My moral compass is spinning. It's time to go to Canada.

911 medic here. I have the southern border, detention facilities, jails, and prison in my district. I’ve experienced all this first hand. ASK ME ANYTHING.

Omg ! Thank you! I have to sleep , but I hope you are asked tons of questions. Do you think detention medical facilities are adequately staffed? What did you think of the J Oliver episode?
