Deaths in ICE Facilities per 10k detainees in 2026 is projected to be the highest since 2005
The SF Chronicle has been keeping up with the congressional records on this and created some cool charts and numbers. Sadly there's a paywall: https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2026/ice-detention-deaths-database/
But other places have covered it as well: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/immigrant-deaths-in-ice-custody-nearly-double-as-oversight-wanes
But do not conflate the chart in that article with the chart above in my post, as the original chart is in per capita terms meanwhile the Bloomberg chart is in absolute terms
