Response times by guards and medical staff at an ICE detention center exceeded the agency's own guidelines in the case of a man who died in custody.
Hesson, a Reuters reporter covering immigration enforcement, told the Reuters World News podcast that guards took 15 minutes to reach the man. Medical personnel arrived 10 minutes after being notified. Hesson said the delays went far beyond ICE's own guidelines on response times.
ICE operates detention centers across the United States for individuals awaiting immigration hearings or removal proceedings. Deaths in custody trigger internal reviews and congressional oversight in some cases. No details were provided on the man's identity, cause of death, or location of the facility.
