Celebrities Demand End to Detention of Children at Dilley ICE Center

A broad coalition of artists and medical experts—including Madonna, Pedro Pascal, Keke Palmer, and Ms. Rachel—posted an open letter urging the Biden-era DHS to shutter the Dilley Immigration Processing Center and release every child in ICE custody, arguing detention harms children’s health and dignity. The letter, addressed to DHS and CoreCivic, highlights abusive conditions, delays in medical care, mold and other hazards, and violations of the Flores protections, while calling for nationwide transparency, accountability, and systemic reform. It notes Dilley’s controversial history—closed in 2024, reopened by the Trump administration—and cites cases of illness among detainees, including young children—arguing that no child should endure such detention.

19-year-old dies in ICE custody, youngest death in Trump-era detention

Royer Perez-Jimenez, 19, died at the Glades County Detention Center in Florida, with ICE saying he was found unconscious and that the death is under investigation; authorities described it as a presumed suicide, and Perez had denied suicide risk at intake. The death marks the youngest ICE detainee death since Trump took office, amid a year with multiple detainee fatalities and ongoing criticism from advocacy groups about facility conditions and safety.

Measles outbreak at El Paso ICE camp fuels push to shutter East Montana

Measles has triggered an outbreak at the El Paso Camp East Montana ICE detention site, with at least 14 active cases and 112 detainees isolated as the facility is closed to visitors. Democratic Rep. Veronica Escobar and other lawmakers are calling for the camp’s shuttering amid ongoing concerns about medical care and deteriorating conditions, linking the outbreak to broader criticism of detention practices and past infectious-disease incidents at the camp.

Supreme Court clears path for GEO detainee-work lawsuit to go to trial

The Supreme Court unanimously allowed a 2014 class-action accusing GEO Group of forcing immigration detainees at its Aurora, Colorado facility to work for about $1 a day to proceed to trial, rejecting GEO’s immunity defense and saying questions about federal authorization must be resolved at trial; it is not a ruling on guilt, but it sets up a path to determine liability.

Courts Push Back on ICE Tactics as Metro Surge Overloads Minnesota Dockets

Minnesota federal judges, overwhelmed by hundreds of emergency immigration petitions tied to Operation Metro Surge, largely find ICE detained noncitizens without due process and even transferred detainees out of state, prompting weekend hearings and sharp judicial criticism. A Politico analysis shows nationwide pushback too: about 347 judges have rejected the detention policy in more than 2,400 cases, with only around 20 ruling for detention, underscoring a widening rift between the courts and the Trump administration.

ICE detainee census reaches 73,000 as crackdown expands detention capacity

ICE custody has risen to about 73,000—a record—as a broad crackdown and a large funding package expand detention capacity, including nontraditional facilities; roughly 47% of detainees have criminal charges or convictions, with non-criminal immigration violators growing fastest, and officials say funding could push capacity toward 100,000 detainees, while critics warn of overcrowding and aggressive enforcement.

3rd Circuit Reverses Khalil Release, Keeping Palestinian Activist in Immigration Detention

A three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower-court decision releasing Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, ruling that immigration challenges must be filed as a petition for review of a final removal order in an appeals court, not a habeas petition, effectively moving Khalil closer to detention and potential deportation with the Trump administration pushing to remand the case.
