“Three people are now dead in ICE custody. Three. In just over a month. Genry Ruiz-Guillen, 29, from Honduras, died January 23. Serawit Gezahegn Dejene, 45, from Ethiopia, died January 29. Maksym Chernyak, 44, from Ukraine, died February 20.
No convictions. No due process. No protection. Just death under fluorescent lights.
“And while the bodies pile up, the architects of this system are laughing.”
