Italian News by RSSIl Fatto Quotidiano: Un 19enne messicano muore in un carcere per immigrati gestito dall’Ice: è il 46esimo caso dell’era Trump
Un 19enne messicano è morto in un carcere di contea in Florida utilizzato per la detenzione di immigrati. A comunicarlo è stata l’Ice (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement), secondo cui il decesso di Royer Perez-Jimenez sarebbe avvenuto per “presunto suicidio“. La causa ufficiale è ancora oggetto d’indagine, ma quello che è certo è che il 19enne è il 46esimo morto tra i detenuti in custodia dell’Ice dal ritorno di Donald Trump alla Casa Bianca, nel gennaio 2025. Il conteggio è stato effettuato dall’Associated Press: il giovane messicano è anche la vittima più giovane delle 46. Solo dall’inizio del 2026 sono 13 gli immigrati morti mentre erano in custodia dell’Ice,
Questo è il secondo caso in una settimana, dopo la morte di un immigrato afghano in un centro di detenzione di Dallas: l’Ice aveva dichiarato che l’uomo era in custodia da solo un giorno e che le cause del decesso sarebbero da ricondurre a un malore legato a problemi pregressi dell’uomo. L’immigrato afghano detenuto aveva anche servito nell’esercito insieme alle Forze speciali americane, nell’Est dell’Afghanistan, al confine col Pakistan. Morti che continuano a confermare la terribile gestione dei centri di reclusione dell’Ice: il 3 gennaio scorso un 55enne cubano era morto, apparentemente a causa di un malore, nel centro di Camp East Montana, in Texas. Un dipendente dell’Ufficio medico legale di El Paso aveva consegnato un audio alla figlia della vittima in cui riconduceva la causa del decesso a una “asfissia dovuta alla compressione di collo e torace“.

A 19-year-old Mexican man dies in an immigration detention center run by ICE: it is the 46th case during the Trump era.
A 19-year-old Mexican man died in a county jail in Florida used for the detention of immigrants. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced this, stating that the death of Royer Perez-Jimenez occurred due to “suicide.” The official cause is still under investigation, but what is certain is that the 19-year-old is the 46th death among ICE detainees since Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025. The count was conducted by the Associated Press: the young Mexican is also the youngest victim of the 46. Since the beginning of 2026, 13 immigrants have died while in ICE custody.
This is the second case in a week, after the death of an Afghan immigrant in a detention center in Dallas: ICE had stated that the man had been in custody for one day and that the cause of death was due to a sudden illness related to the man’s previous health problems. The Afghan immigrant detained had also served with U.S. Special Forces in the east of Afghanistan, on the border with Pakistan. Deaths that continue to confirm the terrible management of ICE detention centers: on January 3rd, a 55-year-old Cuban man died, apparently due to a sudden illness, at Camp East Montana in Texas. An employee of the El Paso Medical Examiner’s Office delivered an audio to the victim’s daughter in which he attributed the cause of death to “asphyxiation due to the compression of the neck and chest.”

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at #ICE’s largest #DetentionFacility
The emergency calls from a #Texas #immigration #DetentionCenter included repeated suicide attempts by detainees, seizures, injuries from fights and a pregnant woman in pain. Data from more than a hundred 911 calls, interviews with detainees and court filings offer a portrait of overcrowding, medical neglect, malnutrition and emotional distress.

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — "The calls to 911 poured in from staff at #CampEastMontana in Texas, the nation’s largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, at a rate of nearly one a day for five months, each its own tale of pain and despair."

911 calls reveal pain, despair at ICE'S largest detention camp
The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas. The emergencies included repeated suicide attempts by detainees, seizures, injuries from fights and a pregnant woman in pain. Data from more than a hundred 911 calls obtained by The Associated Press, interviews with detainees and court filings offer a portrait of overcrowding, medical neglect, malnutrition and emotional distress. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson rejected claims of subprime conditions, saying detainees receive food, water and medical treatment in a facility that's regularly cleaned.
How a Tiny, Inexperienced Firm Landed a $1.3 Billion #Detention Deal To hold 5,000 human beings.
by Samantha Michaels, November+December 2025 Issue
Excerpt: "When the Trump administration awarded a $1.26 billion contract this summer to build and operate a new tent city #detention center in #Texas, it made headlines, and not just because the facility, located at the #FortBliss Army base, was expected to be the biggest of its kind in the country. The company that won the job, #AcquisitionLogistics, was so small it operated out of a single-family home in #RichmondVA. Almost nobody had heard of it. 'A random house…just won $1.26 billion from #ICE,' wrote the New Republic.
"Whereas many companies with ICE contracts had long histories with immigrant detention, including private prison giants such as GEO Group, Acquisition Logistics had no prior experience in incarceration. Previously, its biggest federal contract was $16 million, and CEO #KenWagner is circling retirement at 77. Over the summer, the company’s website was inaccessible to the public, with the header 'Site maintenance in progress.' Archived screenshots showed the firm specializes in supply chain management. Could it safely operate a 5,000-bed detention facility?"

Mystery surrounds #RichmondVA-area home tied to firm behind $1.2B Army #Texas tent-camp contract

WASHINGTON (AP) — "When President Donald Trump's administration last month awarded a contract worth up to $1.2 billion to build and operate what it says will become the nation’s largest immigration detention complex, it didn’t turn to a large government contractor or even a firm that specializes in private prisons.
Instead, it handed the project on a military base to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a small business that has no listed experience running a correction facility and had never won a federal contract worth more than $16 million. The company also lacks a functioning website and lists as its address a modest home in suburban Virginia owned by a 77-year-old retired Navy flight officer."

A ‘Shameful’ Legacy: #Texas Has Officially Opened an #ICE #DetentionFacility at Site of #WWII #InternmentCamp
#CampEastMontana is now the largest #immigrant detention facility in U.S. history, but it’s just one of 19 sites that will add a total of 37,649 new beds for ICE detainment — a 105% increase in the state’s capacity.
by Leslie Rangel August 18, 2025
Excerpt: "In #ElPaso on Sunday, the #Trump Administration opened the doors to Camp East Montana, the largest ICE detention facility in the country’s history. It reportedly cost $1.2 billion under a U.S. Defense Department contract.
"The new facility is at Fort Bliss, one of five sites where Texas held detainees of #Japanese descent, as well as immigrants from #Germany and #Italy — including #AmericanBorn civilians — during #WorldWarII, according to the National Parks Service and The El Paso Times."

Linking Dot“At one point he said he overheard a security guard talking about bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had paid $500 into a pool, with the total pot riding on the outcome. The talk was particularly jarring, he said, because he had contemplated suicide himself.”
