This reporting has taken quite a lot of time and nearly $1k in fees to obtain autopsy reports. If you want to support the work uncovering the truth about ICE deaths — which you’ll only find at Doom — subscribe or contribute here:

A previous report on the strange case of a man who died in ICE detention in El Paso — where the U.S. Army is now conducting his autopsy.

Obtaining these reports for the nearly 50 people who have died in ICE custody under Trump has been a mission — and great challenge — for several months now.

What does the report show? Likely that the man did, in fact, take his own life, unfortunately. But this isn’t the point: ICE deaths have reached record highs, and autopsy reports from local authorities provide basic transparency.

In this case, two self-professed MAGA coroners are refusing to release an ICE detainee’s death by (incorrectly) citing state law. The bottom line: they could release the report but simply refuse to do so.

The situation is reflective of the great difficulty in straightening out the circumstances of the record number of ICE deaths that have taken place under Trump — walled-off facilities, federal bureaucracy, local LEA, etc.

Two coroners in Missouri made anti-immigrant remarks — then performed the autopsy of a man who died in ICE custody. Now, they’re refusing to release the autopsy report.

All of this comes as the Justice Department has tried to avoid an evidentiary hearing on Friday in which Evans is scheduled to testify.
The affidavit that led to the raid has come under intense scrutiny after it was released, revealing that the claims made by the author of the document, FBI Special Agent Hugh Evans, were based entirely on disproven fraud claims that had already been investigated by various authorities.
For weeks, our attorneys have been fighting in court to have these documents unsealed after American Doom filed a motion to intervene in the case, which pits Fulton County officials against President Donald Trump’s Justice Department.
A federal judge in Atlanta decided in American Doom’s favor and has ordered the Justice Department to release documents related to the Jan. 28 FBI raid on a Fulton County elections warehouse.

Meanwhile, @repdangoldman.bsky.social has raised the alarm over Trump administration attempts to seize voting machines and other election records ahead of November’s midterms. Full report at @zeteo.com

The FBI raid of a Georgia election warehouse previews the Trump admin's efforts to interfere in the November midterms, Democrats say. Materials seized will be used to push a false narrative of election fraud to help Republicans hold power in Congress.

Among them are deaths under circumstances that families of immigrant detainees have questioned. That, plus insight into the nexus between immigration enforcement and threats to elections is up now at today's edition of Doom:

ICE has failed to provide congressionally-mandated information on at least eight detainees who have died in its custody in the first year of the Trump administration.
zeteo.com/p/ice-immigr...
As the Senate continues to battle over ICE and DHS funding, ICE is already in violation of rules tied to a previous funding bill.
Those rules require ICE to disclose certain information about detainee deaths. The agency has not.

January was the deadliest month for immigrants in U.S. detention centers since ICE began releasing detainee death information in 2018. @americandoom.bsky.social’s @justinglawe.bsky.social learned the agency has failed to comply with congressional rules requiring reports of those deaths.
