ICE Review of Immigrant’s Suicide Finds Falsified Documents, Neglect, and Improper Confinement

Intercept is reporting on the results of an internal review of a recent suicide that took place in ICE detention. The review found that staff falsified documents, improperly dealt with the victim’s medication, neglected to follow proper procedures for his care, and improperly placed him in disciplinary solitary confinement — despite multiple warnings of his declining mental health. https://www.ice.gov/

ICE Poised for Reform as Biden Nominee Heads to Senate for Confirmation Vote.

ICE is set to get its first Senate-confirmed leader in nearly five years this fall, laying groundwork for reform within the agency. The Senate is prepared to vote on Biden’s nominee to lead ICE – Texas Sheriff Ed Gonzalez – who has worked with ICE in the past, but has also taken a moderate approach to immigration enforcement. While the Biden administration has already announced new guidelines for the agency, implementing them and others will fall to the new director. Gonzalez will need a simple majority vote to be confirmed in the fall.

ICE and CBP to stop using the term ‘illegal alien’ referring to immigrants.

On Monday, two federal government memos were issued stating that U.S. immigration enforcement agencies will no longer use the term “illegal alien” in official communications to refer to immigrants in the country. Specifically, ICE and CBP will discontinue the use of words “alien,” “illegal alien,” and “assimilation” from internal policy documents and communications with the public. Immigrant advocates have long condemned the use of these terms as a dehumanizing effort to draw a distinction between immigrants without the means to explore legal avenues of migration.
