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.

4 lives over.

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.

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

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.
8 hrs after Jean Jimenez, a 27 year-old DREAMer who suffered from schizophrenia, died inside a solitary confinement cell at the $cxw Stewart Detention Center, @ICEgov health officials identified the problem in no uncertain terms: 1 Mental Health pro : 2000 ppl.
