Concerns over health care in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities have grown over the past decade, including reports of medical mismanagement, inadequate mental health care, and inappropriate use of solitary confinement. Despite being a federally funded agency, reporting and accountability of health outcomes in ICE facilities is limited. This manuscript outlines current standards for health in ICE detention, how compliance is evaluated, why this process fails, and how current processes can be improved to achieve transparency and accountability.

Historically, the US immigration system (ie, institutions, agencies, and laws) has served the goals and principles of white supremacy through its treatment of globally displaced people and this appears to have continued through the COVID pandemic.

This study conducted a series of focus groups with participants from social justice organizations working with immigrants, migrants, undocumented persons, refugees, persons seeking asylum, and persons detained in immigration jails to collect stories on how the immigration system undermined efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 and exacerbated health inequity within immigrant jails and across related community contexts during the pandemic.

However, complete loss of responsibility with respect to acts of violence is rare and indicative of extreme degrees of mental disorder.
