Multiple reports highlight ongoing concerns regarding the deaths of detainees in ICE custody across the United States, including recent incidents in Georgia and California. In Georgia, two Mexican nationals, Jesus Molina-Veya and Abelardo Avellaneda-Delgado, died in 2025 while in detention at Stewart Detention Center or during transport. Molina-Veya, who had prior convictions including child molestation and drug offenses, died by apparent suicide in June, while Avellaneda-Delgado became unresponsive en route to medical care in May. Civil rights groups and Georgia Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock have condemned the conditions at Stewart Detention Center, calling for greater accountability and transparency. They have raised concerns over systemic neglect, poor medical care, and delays in reporting detainee deaths. Across the country, there have been over a dozen deaths in ICE detention facilities this year, including a Mexican national, Ismael Ayala-Uribe, who died in California after suffering from a medical emergency while in custody. Advocates criticize the rapid expansion of detention facilities, overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and cuts to oversight agencies, which they argue exacerbate risks to detainee health and safety. The Department of Homeland Security has stated that all in-custody deaths are thoroughly investigated and that ICE is committed to humane treatment, but critics demand more transparency and reforms to prevent future tragedies.
