Detainees in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement are taking their own lives at a pace that's unprecedented in the agency’s two-decade history, an Associated Press Investigation has found. The investigation revealed that at least 10 ICE detainees have died by suicide since President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025. That includes seven deaths since October, already the most in one fiscal year. The increased pace of suicides far exceeds the growth in ICE’s detainee population. The deaths occurred at detention facilities operated by private contractors and local jails run by sheriffs. All were men, and nine of the 10 were Hispanic.
