One Mexican died on Saturday, the day after he was captured by officers at a border crossing, trying to prove that he is a US citizen. He was kept by the border and customs service to make decisions on deportation and possible criminal charges.

«Согласно первоначальным сообщениям, причиной смерти является самоубийство», — сказали в ведомстве.

A Nigerian man held by U.S. Immigration and Customs at the Worcester County Detention Center in Snow Hill, Maryland, was found dead in his cell on Saturday, December 21, in the morning. The US Immigration and Customs Police (ICE) said that he apparently died from "strangulation caused by himself."

A few hours after the death announcements, the House Oversight and Reform Committee announced an investigation into the conditions of detention in the Department of Homeland Security.

Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, a New York Democrat and chair of the committee, said it was a reflection of “violence and mistreatment of immigrants in detention centers.”

She said that the focus of the investigation will be the death of a 16-year-old immigrant who was detained and died in May 2019 from the flu. The committee said that he was being held in a cell without medical attention, despite signs of illness.

One of the dead illegal immigrants was 56-year-old Anthony Olusey Akinemi, who arrived in the United States on a legal temporary visa, but was arrested in June on charges of child abuse and sexual abuse of a minor

The ICE stated that it violated the conditions of its visa and would be deported from the country. He was soon found dead in his cell.

«ICE заботится о здоровье и благосостоянии всех находящихся под его опекой лиц и проводит всесторонний анализ этого инцидента в масштабах всего ведомства, как и во всех подобных случаях», — говорится в заявлении службы.

«Статистические данные о смертности в местах содержания под стражей ICE чрезвычайно редки и составляют лишь часть среднего показателя по стране для задержанного населения США», — сказали в ведомстве.

While the ICE called the name of the person who died, the Border and Customs Service (CBP) did not name the Mexican migrant and published only meager details of his death.

Both the CBP, which deals with border issues, and the ICE, which controls domestic immigration and deportation, have encountered problems in recent years when prisoners began to die.

For CBP, this is usually a matter of medical concern. According to officials, many detained immigrants arrived in the United States with serious illnesses and died shortly after the arrests.

Meanwhile, ICE has been criticized for its places of detention. Most of the prisoners are in state, local or private prisons.

In a report published in 2018, the inspector general at Homeland Security said the sheets with the hinges were discovered during a surprise check at the ICE facility in Adelanto, California.

In the course of this audit, it turned out that the institution violates ICE security standards, but, apparently, the agency does not take seriously the “recurring problem”. According to the inspector general, in March 2017, a 32-year-old prisoner at this facility in Adelanto hanged himself on a sheet, and in the following months, investigators confirmed reports of at least three other assassination attempts on him.

One detainee told investigators, “I saw several suicide attempts using a sheet, as soon as they returned from treatment, the guards simply laughed at them and called them“ suicide losers. ”
