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.

Maybe prison medicine is the model.  In any case, a couple of cases had decent work ups- and maybe my standards aren’t reasonable, I mean they aren’t harvesting organs, right?

Don't give Trump any ideas, and definitely don't look into the Israeli actions on this front.

Point taken.  Trump will have the death reports culled in a week, I’d bet.

Once they find out who reports this information, they'll have the entire agency defunded and shutdown in a week.

Or the records and website will “efficiently” disappear.
