Abelardo Avellaneda Delgado, a 68-year-old immigrant, became the first ICE detainee to die during transport in at least ten years. His death has ignited discussions about the increasing risks associated with private companies managing detainee transport, particularly amidst the Trump administration's push for mass deportations. Despite spending most of his life in the US, Avellaneda Delgado faced undocumented status and was arrested in Georgia for a parole violation. His health deteriorated while in custody, highlighting concerns about conditions and oversight within immigrant detention systems, prompting his family to seek legal counsel for answers.
Avellaneda's death during transport reflects a troubling trend as private companies without oversight are increasingly in charge of moving ICE detainees across the US.
The system is so loaded with people, exacerbating bad conditions. It's like a ticking time bomb, highlighting systemic issues in the handling of immigration detainees.
