Approximately 250–300+ people have died in ICE custody since the agency was established in 2003, based on available public data as of mid-2025.
#ICE, also known as “La Migra” #LaMigra or “Migra” #Migra, most commonly refers to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a federal law enforcement agency under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (#DHS). ICE was created under the administration of President George W. #Bush. The agency officially began operations on March 1, 2003, following the enactment of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which restructured federal law enforcement after the September 11 attacks.
Approximately 100–120+ deaths in ICE custody during #Trump’s first term (2017–Jan 2021) and another ~50–60+ in the early part of his second term (Jan 2025–mid-2026), for a rough total exceeding 150–180 as of July 2026. In 2026, an increase in deaths was observed in both detention fatalities and public shootings.
Human rights organizations, media archives like the ICEFall Tracker, and official federal ICE Detainee Death Reporting data have identified many of the individuals killed during enforcement operations or who died due to medical neglect, force, or trauma while in custody.
Fatalities, 2025–2026.
Reports indicate numerous deaths during enforcement actions and within detention, including:
Operational Fatalities. “Operational Fatalities” in this context refers to individuals killed by ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents during enforcement operations, such as traffic stops, arrest attempts, or other immigration-related actions. These are deaths caused directly by ICE use of force (typically shootings) while agents carry out duties like pursuing or detaining people suspected of immigration violations or related offenses. The term distinguishes these from other ICE-related deaths, such as those in custody from medical issues or natural causes. It appears in activist, media, or critical discussions framing such incidents collectively, often to highlight patterns in enforcement actions: Joan Sebastian Guerrero (#Colombia), Lorenzo Salgado Araujo (#Mexico), Silverio Villegas Gonzalez (Mexico), Alex Jeffrey Pretti (#USA), Renée Nicole Macklin Good (U.S.), Ruben Ray Martinez (U.S.), Jaime Alanis (Mexico), Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez (#Guatemala), and Josue Castro Rivera (#Honduras).
Detention Deaths. “Detention Deaths” in reference to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) means individuals who died while detained in government holding facilities or private prisons. These specific individuals represent a grim list of immigrants and asylum seekers from around the world who died across various U.S. detention centers: Geraldo Lunas Campos (#Cuba), Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres (Honduras), Luis Beltrán Yáñez–Cruz (Honduras), Parady La (#Cambodia), Víctor Manuel Díaz (#Nicaragua), Heber Sánchez Domínguez (Mexico), Lorth Sim (Cambodia), Jairo García-Hernández (Guatemala), Alberto Gutiérrez Reyes (Mexico), Pejman Karshenas Najafabadi (#Iran), Emmanuel Damas (#Haiti), Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal (#Afghanistan), Royer Perez-Jimenez (Mexico), Nenko Stanev Gantchev (#Bulgaria), Johnny Nove (#Canada), Isidro Perez (Cuba), Pete Sumalo Montejo (#Philippines), Shiraz Fatehali Sachwani (#Pakistan), Jean Wilson Brutus (Haiti), Fouad Saeed Abdulkadir (#Eritrea), and Delvin Francisco Rodriguez (Nicaragua).
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH regarding the terrorism, persecution, threats, and killings perpetrated by Donald Trump and his mafia!
TRUMP’S #WHITEHOUSE IS A CIRCUS OF MADNESS, #CORRUPTION, INCOMPETENCE, #SEX SCANDALS, AND TERRORISM OF EVERY KIND.
