Jose Guadalupe Ramos, a Mexican immigrant, was found unresponsive in his bunk at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in California on March 25, 2026. He was transferred to a hospital and declared dead, marking the 14th death in ICE custody in 2026. The death rate puts 2026 on track to be the deadliest year for immigration detention since 2004. The deaths come as ICE's detained population has surged from 37,000 to over 72,000, with the administration seeking capacity for 100,000 beds. Facilities have struggled with disease, overcrowding, and substandard medical care. Mexico's President Sheinbaum announced stronger measures to protest the conditions. The expansion was funded by $45 billion in congressional appropriations specifically for detention over four years.
