Abolish ICE and End Deaths in Immigration Detention Abolish ICE and shut down the detention centers where innocent, law-abiding people are dying in federal custody. People who have committed no crime are losing their lives inside ICE detention facilities. These are not abstract numbers. These are individuals who entered a government facility alive and came out in a body bag, with no adequate public accounting of how or why. The federal government owes the public a full, transparent investigation into every death that has occurred in ICE custody, and it owes us structural change, not just a report. ICE detention has failed by every measure of basic human decency. The answer is not reform at the margins. Abolish the agency, close the facilities, and build an immigration system that does not kill the people it holds.
