ICE to stop reporting deaths of newly released detainees: 'This is common sense'

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will no longer publicly report the deaths of released detainees under a newly revised policy, according to an internal memo sent to agency employees Thursday.

In the memo, which was obtained by The Washington Post, acting Director David Venturella said ICE is ending its requirement to report any deaths that occur within 30 days of a person's release and will instead only report deaths that occur within ICE custody.
