Three people are now dead in ICE custody. Three. In just over a month. Genry Ruiz-Guillen, 29, from Honduras, died January 23. Serawit Gezahegn Dejene, 45, from Ethiopia, died January 29. Maksym Chernyak, 44, from Ukraine, died February 20. ICE has 46,269 people in custody—far above its legal bed count of 41,500. Congress just rewarded them with another $430 million. Detention centers are overflowing. The United States is running concentration camps. Again. We demand independent investigations, criminal accountability, and media that covers these stories like lives are on the line—because they are. The machine is killing people. The people running it are proud of that. And history will not forgive anyone who stood by and watched. Raise your voice. Wreck their silence. And don’t stop until the cages are empty. Defund ICE, end private detention contracts, shut down Krome and every facility like it.
