ICE does not just abuse people — it does so repeatedly, in familiar ways, across different facilities and regions. These are not isolated incidents. They are systemic features. What happens in California mirrors what happens in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and beyond. The agents change. The uniforms change. The abuse stays the same.

This page exists to track the patterns — to show that what’s happening is not exceptional, but expected.

Medical Neglect

• Detainees denied insulin, cancer treatment, or prenatal care
• Delays that result in preventable deaths
• Facilities outsourcing to unqualified private medical providers
• Patterns of ignoring or falsifying sick call requests

Solitary Confinement

• Used against people with mental illness, medical conditions, or for minor infractions
• Deployed as retaliation against whistleblowers or hunger strikers
• ICE claims it’s “administrative” — survivors call it torture

Sexual Abuse

• Repeated complaints against guards go uninvestigated
• Pattern of assaults at LaSalle-run and GEO-run facilities
• Lack of female staff, cameras, or reporting options
• Cases where victims are deported before testifying

Retaliation and Coercion

• Detainees moved or punished for speaking to media, filing lawsuits, or striking
• Whistleblower nurses, doctors, or staff punished or fired
• Lawyers blocked from access, clients transferred without notice

Hunger Strikes and Abuse

• Long history of detainees protesting conditions with hunger strikes
• ICE responds with force-feeding, solitary, or transfers
• Strikers labeled as “threats” rather than heard as witnesses

Racial Profiling and Targeted Arrests

• Raids focused on specific communities (Latino neighborhoods, African migrants, Iranians, Haitians)
• Use of DMV data, facial recognition, and sting operations to entrap people

Denial of Due Process

• Detainees not informed of charges
• Deportations without hearings or legal representation
• Use of secret evidence, language barriers, no interpreter

Transfers and Disappearances

• Detainees transferred across state lines to break up community support
• Sudden moves used to block legal access or court appearances
• Family members lose contact for days or weeks

Why It Matters

You can’t reform a pattern like this. You can only expose it. Each individual report helps build the case. Each facility page, each agent profile, each timeline is a thread in the same fabric. The more clearly we trace the pattern, the harder it is to deny what this system really is.

Help document it. Help map it. Help end it.
