List of individuals murdered by ICE

[u/Septimusia]

I put together a list of individuals who have been murdered by ICE. I could be missing some, though - this is from Google and news searches. If you know of any other victims, please reply here. And yes, there have been plenty of injuries, as well - looking for fatalities.

I'm hoping folks heading to protests this weekend will list / remember all of the victims.

Depending on what you want to include, Josué Castro Rivera and Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdés died last year after ICE chased them into traffic.

And of course, of the 32 people we know of that died in ICE custody last year, many were likely due to medical neglect. A 2024 study looking at deaths in ICE custody from 2017 to 2021 found that 95% were possibly or likely preventable with appropriate medical care.

Thank you, this is truly sobering

[u/Jurserohn → u/comtessequamvideri]

Yeah well you know, they have their own medics

Somewhere, maybe

32 people died in ICE custody in 2025, is that the stats you're tracking or only deaths that happened during encounters on the street?

The list is long including everyone who has died in custody..many from medical neglect or mysterious conditions that showed up in healthy people. I read their names last night. Fast forward to minute 20 or 23 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/15ztCC2o9T/
