ICE locked suicidal and seriously ill detainees in solitary confinement for four times longer than the U.N.'s torture threshold, new figures reveal.

Donald Trump, 80, has promised to jail and deport "the worst of the worst." But ICE's official numbers tell a crueler story.

FY2026 detention statistics quietly posted on July 20—the agency's first release since April 9, ending a three-month blackout that spawned at least three lawsuits—lay bare the Trump administration's failure to follow international human rights law on solitary confinement, according to an analysis by the Daily Beast's investigative Substack Punchup.
