Four migrants died in U.S. immigration custody within the first ten days of 2026, with deaths occurring between January 3rd and 9th. The deceased include individuals from Cuba, Honduras, and Cambodia. These incidents follow a record high of 30 migrant deaths in ICE custody in 2025. While the Department of Homeland Security stated death rates remain consistent with historical norms despite increased detentions, advocacy groups like Detention Watch Network have called the numbers "staggering" and urged the closure of detention centers.
