Ice Data: Measles Outbreak and Immigrant Lockups

ice data: It was the third in-custody death for the immigration agency nationwide since October 1, according to Metro News. Fifteen migrants have died at the Eloy Detention Center since 2004, ICE data shows. The 36-year-old woman died at a hospital near the Eloy Detention Center, which is among the largest immigrant lockups in the country and currently has 1,473 detainees, just shy of its capacity of 1,500.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Monday that Raquel Calderon de Hildago died Sunday after suffering a series of seizures. This summer, the centre became the epicenter of a large measles outbreak after some facility workers refused to get vaccinated. But unfortunately this administration and the prison operator are not held accountable and so we see again someone life being lost, said Carlos Garcia, the executive director of Puente Arizona, an advocacy group for immigrants. For us it disappointing because this death, like the others, could have been prevented. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
