Congressman Carson Releases ICE Response to Inquiry on Miami Correctional Facility Conditions
- On Thursday, Congressman Andre Carson released a response from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement following his April inquiry into conditions at the Miami Correctional Facility in Indiana.
- Carson initiated the inquiry following the deaths of detainees Lorth Sim and Tuan Van Bui, seeking transparency on emergency alert systems and staffing ratios amid severe medical backlogs.
- ICE acknowledged detainees at the facility missed 799 medication doses between April 1 and 22. Carson said the agency's response only "deepens those concerns" about timely medical care.
- Broader detention issues surfaced with the recent death of Prisciliano Ricano Trejo, who passed away last week after transfer from the Stewart Detention Center. Nationwide, 51 people have died in ICE custody since January 2025.
- Senator Tammy Duckworth and other lawmakers are demanding independent oversight, citing systemic abuse and the deadliest year for ICE detention in over two decades. They continue pushing for investigations into rising mortality rates.
