Perhaps every detainee must be seen by a medical doctor, triaged if necessary, before being placed in a cell. It would be delicious irony for DHS to pay for healthcare for all (of their detainees.) Maybe some resentful ICE agents might be less incentivized to detain if the detainees get more and better healthcare than do their families.
