ICE press release for the death of Alberto Gutierrez-Reyes debuts a strikingly callous (and ungrammatical) new claim. Full table of all 38 deaths under Trump included in post.
"Another day and another hoax about ICE facilities. Nearly every single day, we respond to media about FALSE allegations about ICE facilities. ICE has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens. All detainees are provided with proper meals, medical treatment, and have opportunities to communicate with lawyers and their family members. It is a longstanding practice to provide comprehensive medical care from the moment an alien enters ICE custody. This includes medical, dental, and mental health intake screening within 12 hours of arriving at each detention facility, a full health assessment within 14 days of entering ICE custody or arrival at a facility, and access to medical appointments and 24-hour emergency care. This is the best healthcare that many aliens have received in their entire lives. Meals are certified by dietitians. Ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of individuals in our custody is a top priority at ICE.
Why do you think people lie about it? I have a friend who’s business partner, an Irish electrician who’s been here for over 30 years, paid his taxes and raised a family… Has been in ice detention where he’s now suffering badly from a preventable disease, has lost about 20% of his body weight and is experiencing. It appears to be a mental breakdown. Not sure I believe that health assessments are being done.
The dehumanizing rhetoric continues, even after these sad and preventable deaths. To continue to use the term “alien” and to imply that substandard care is okay because it may be the best they ever had is heartless.
War against Iran= (they hope) distraction from Trump files conveniently when we caught the trump pages disappearing and the DOJ was “looking into it”. He has caved to Israel by starting the war the Israeli war criminal has been trying to get the U.S. into for decades. Unlimited money to steal from and put into all his foreign bank accounts. Hoping to disrupt the mid-terms (they just started yesterday) a few days after going to war. I’ll be curious to see how all of Congress votes. We know almost all of them own stock in companies that will also steal money from the U.S. citizens.
Reporter here. We received a similar statement from DHS in December when reporting this story on California City.

Is there any information re cause of death? Thank you.
Maybe its time for the states to bring manslaughter charges....
