Six people died in California ICE detention centers
May 19, 2026 · California, CA
Six people died in California immigration detention centers over the past year as crowded facilities struggled to provide basic medical care, according to a state investigation. Four deaths occurred at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center in San Bernardino County and two at the Imperial Regional Detention Facility in Calexico. The deaths represent the highest toll since the state began inspections seven years ago, coinciding with Trump administration deportation campaigns that increased detention center populations by over 150%.
