More #FOIAFoibles from ICE.

According to a response the agency provided today. there were only 2 Significant Incident Reports or Significant Event Notifications regarding suicide attempts by people imprisoned at facilities in the New Orleans Field Office from Jan-Apr 2019. 1/x
One happened at GEO's LaSalle facility on April 17, 2019 around 3pm. A Sudanese man used a razor blade to slit his wrists. He had to go to LaSalle General for sutures. Yet the report says no injuries occurred. 2/x
The other SIR was an attempted self-strangulation with a sheet by a #Cameroonian asylum-seeker on January 26 at CoreCivic's Tallahatchie facility in Tutwiler, Mississippi.

His fellow detained migrants were able to intervene and save his life.

Another human caged by ICE appears to have ended his life while in solitary confinement at a for-profit migrant prison, this time in Louisiana.

This would be the second known in-custody death of the fiscal year, with more than two dozen occurring since the regime took power.
Worth noting that the existence of this facility for ICE imprisonment itself is in direct violation of the appropriations authority Congress gave to ICE when it funded detention operations.

It’s worth asking ourselves what to call prison camps we send people to where they’ve committed no crime, received no due process, and have not been shown to present a flight risk, knowing some number of them will die, and thousands more will suffer

26 months.

4 lives over.

Today’s so hard for so many who’ve been screaming at the top of their lungs, lifting up well-documented, unrebutted, damning first-person accounts of the inhumanity of for-profit migrant imprisonment inside ICE’s Stewart facility in Lumpkin, Georgia.
If they’d listened to voices, processed them respectfully, and done their own discernment, the inescapable conclusion would be that Stewart is no place fit for human beings. Not yesterday, not today. Not ever.

Officials and execs see the same docs we’ve gotten and sat silent.
Unless Stewart is closed, more will suffer. More will give up. And more will die.

Rest in Power, Pedro, Efrain, Yulio, and Jean.

ICE discussed cutting off visitation programs at the for-profit migrant prison in Lumpkin, GA for "known adversary" @elrefugioga, one of the only service-oriented nonprofits in Stewart, as retaliation for holding a vigil remembering the life of Jean Jimenez #DetentionKills #FOIA
Here's the Significant Incident Report (SIR) ICE officials drafted and send to HQ about the memorials seeking #JusticeforJean:

And here's ICE officials sharing a screenshot of a web portal demonstrating that, despite at least a half-dozen supervisors responding to questions from ICE HQ about Jean's mental health status, his segregation logs DO NOT note his MH diagnoses or his prior suicide attempts.
