Description:

As the number of immigrants dying in government custody rises, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is shrinking the scope of which deaths it will be required to report.

In a memo sent to agency employees Thursday and reviewed by The Washington Post, acting director David Venturella said ICE is eliminating its requirement to report deaths that occur within 30 days of people being released from its custody.

“ICE is returning to the standard practice of reporting deaths that occur while an individual is in agency custody,” Venturella wrote in the memo.
