The ice detainees are likely being deprived of access to doctors

The pedofelon party is 100% against any funding for immigrant healthcare. Is there any reason to believe that the current regime is paying for vital medical access to ice prisoners?

Our representatives can't get in, no records are being shared, and we don't even have a list of names of detainees, let alone their living conditions.

Isn't it illegal to deny prisoners access to emergency medical care? If a detainee needs to go to the ER, who pays the hospital if the gov refuses?

The detained a 79 year old US citizen car wash owner after breaking his ribs, and would not release him to go get medical care, nor his medicine, nor water, nor food, for 12 hours. They would not even let him call his family. His family finally was allowed to take him to the hospital. He was released without charges. He is suing. He could have died. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/26/los-angeles-car-wash-owner-ice-raid-lawsuit#:~:text=Though%20never%20charged%20with%20a,Ice%20is%20operating%20our%20community.
