They’re Not Breathing’: Inside the Chaos of ICE Detention Center 911 Calls

Recent reports have highlighted the disturbing conditions inside ICE detention centers, including the chaotic and urgent nature of 911 calls made from these facilities.

According to leaked recordings and transcripts, emergency calls from detention center staff often include phrases like “they’re not breathing” and “we need help now.”

Despite the severity of the situations described in these calls, response times from emergency services can be delayed due to bureaucratic red tape and lack of coordination between ICE and local emergency responders.

In some cases, detainees have died while waiting for medical assistance to arrive, sparking outrage and calls for reform of the immigration detention system.

Advocates argue that the inhumane treatment of detainees in these facilities is a violation of their basic human rights and demand accountability for those responsible.

ICE has faced increasing scrutiny over its handling of medical emergencies in detention centers, with critics calling for greater transparency and oversight of their operations.

The release of these chilling 911 calls has shed light on the desperate and dangerous conditions faced by detainees in ICE custody, raising questions about the agency’s ability to provide adequate care and support for those under its supervision.

As the public becomes more aware of the systemic issues within ICE detention centers, pressure mounts for meaningful reforms to protect the health and safety of vulnerable populations detained in these facilities.

It is clear that urgent action is needed to address the crisis unfolding within ICE detention centers, and to prevent further tragedies from occurring in the future.
