ICE, ICE baby (and CBP stuff too)

While this could also go in the elections or milestones thread, I’ll choose to temper my reaction and choose this thread for this link:

That would also fit in the Milestones toward and Authoritarian Government thread. But, I suppose most of this thread also fits over there.

Could also be filed under Studies with obvious results

ICE has not paid any of its providers for detainees’ care since Oct. 3, 2025, according to agency regulatory filings and the ICE website. In an internal directive issued shortly after, obtained by the Chronicle and not previously reported, ICE declared “emergency operations,” sharply limiting offsite medical care and access to medication.

Hospitals and ambulance services told the Chronicle they are owed millions of dollars, while many detainees have had appointments for lifesaving medical care delayed or canceled. Medical providers say they have continued to provide care out of moral obligation, although some observers worry that fear of nonpayment could deter them from offering services to detainees.

ICE’s 2025 national detention standards require facilities to provide “medically necessary and appropriate medical, dental and mental healthcare and pharmaceutical services at no cost to the detainee.” Yet according to medical invoices and legal filings reviewed, detainees have been directly charged thousands of dollars for medication and care they received while in ICE custody.

Reporters interviewed 12 immigrants who suffered from serious medical conditions in detention, some life-threatening, but struggled to obtain off-site specialty treatment that independent physicians who reviewed some of their records — and in some cases a detention center’s own medical staff — said was necessary.

I am unshocked that Trump would try to use a back door process to prevent detainees from getting treatment.
