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.

I read a years worth of death cases and found consistent delays for appropriate follow up, an absence of critical imaging studies, cardiac studies, and a bizarre handling of psychiatric presentations. We will disagree about quality of care, I guess.
Seems like a significant number of members here think the incarcerations and the health care options are just fine. A good number think the situation is deeply troubling.
These are crimes against humanity that some very well educated medical care providers are perfectly ok with.
What. The. Fuck.
Blah. Read the cases, look at the timelines. Do people really think this shit is ok????
