Death of ICE detainee Chaofeng Ge

To: Sen. Baldwin, Sen. Johnson, Rep. Pocan

From: A constituent in Madison, WI

November 21

The federal government must formally investigate the death of Chaofeng Ge, reported to have committed suicide this past August in DHS custody while his hands and feet were bound. As DHS has refused to provide any substantive explanation for his death, or offered any information on his condition up to that point, other authorities must force an investigation. At a minimum, the case suggests severe neglect; at worst, it suggests that DHS participates in or permits the killing of detainees. We demand answers, and we demand that the humanity of detainees be recognized and their basic needs met. His family, and all of us who care about our neighbors, deserve transparency -- and change.
