Newark, NJ, USA - May 10, 2025: Delaney Hall is a secure detention facility near Newark Airport used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to hold illegal aliens accused of criminal activity. Editorial credit: George Wirt / Shutterstock.com Four people died in ICE custody this week, proving the cruelty isn’t the arrest itself — it’s the neglect, indifference, and silence that follow once the doors lock. I’ve been out of federal custody for a while now, but the memories don’t fade. They linger. They itch. They wake you up at night like a phantom pain from a limb you didn’t even know the government could amputate. Since my release from FCI Otisville, I’ve been very clear — borderline annoying, if you ask my former captors — about what it means to be human warehoused by the United States government. Fifty-one days in solitary confinement. Three days without food. A sink and toilet that didn’t work, which is a polite way of saying I lived with my own waste. A broken window that let rain soak my bed like I was camping, minus the fun and marshmallows. Gnats. No ventilation. Temperatures pushing 100 degrees. And this wasn’t some secret black site in a failed state. This was a federal facility in the United States of America. And here’s the part that matters: I am a U.S. citizen. I was the former personal attorney to the sitting President of the United States. I had a megaphone — family, friends, journalists, celebrities, members of Congress — people who noticed when I coughed, sneezed, or didn’t get fed. If that’s how the system treated someone with visibility, resources, and a last name people recognize, let me ask you something uncomfortable: what do you think happens to the people nobody is watching? Now imagine you’re in ICE detention. This month alone, four people died in immigration detention over the span of four days. December 12. December 14 — twice. December 15. That’s not a coincidence. That’s a pattern. Or, as the ACLU’s Eunice Cho accurately put it, a “red-hot crisis.” When four human beings die in government custody in less than a workweek, the problem isn’t bad luck. It’s bad conditions. The names matter. Jean Wilson Brutus, 41, Haitian, dead one day after entering ICE custody in Newark. Nenko Stanev Gantchev, 56, Bulgarian, died in Michigan. Delvin Francisco Rodriguez, 39, Nicaraguan, died in Mississippi. Fouad Saeed Abdulkadir, 46, Eritrean, died in Pennsylvania. ICE says two died of “natural causes” and two from “medical complications,” which is bureaucratic shorthand for “please don’t ask follow-up questions.” Thirty people — THIRTY — have died in ICE custody in 2025 alone; the highest number since 2004. That tally includes two people killed in a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility, because apparently even detention centers now need active-shooter disclaimers. Nearly 66,000 people are currently detained, a record high, while the Trump administration is asking Congress for $45 billion to expand immigration detention. More beds. More bodies. More risk. More death. At the same time, oversight has been quietly strangled. Watchdog agencies closed, then half-reopened after public backlash. Lawyers and advocates say conditions are deteriorating unchecked. ICE, meanwhile, insists deaths are “less than 1%,” a statistic offered without math, methodology, or shame. Detention, they remind us, isn’t supposed to be punitive. Funny — because the people inside keep dying like it is. Several of these deaths occurred within days of people being taken into custody, raising serious concerns about trauma, medical neglect, and the shock of arrest itself. If you’ve never experienced the moment when the state decides it owns your body, let me assure you — it’s not calming. It’s violent, even without bruises. Members of Congress like Pramila Jayapal and Patty Murray are calling for oversight and accountability, describing the deaths as “appalling and unacceptable.” Lawsuits allege overcrowding, lack of beds, inadequate food, nonexistent medical care. ICE officials respond with press releases and confidence bordering on satire, claiming they maintain “higher standards of care than most prisons that hold U.S. citizens.” Let me translate that for you: Don’t believe your lying eyes. Here’s the truth they don’t want to say out loud. Immigration detention has become a business model built on volume, speed, and indifference. People are processed, parked, and ignored until something goes catastrophically wrong; and then it’s labeled unavoidable. Natural. Complicated. I survived my time in custody only because people were watching. ICE detainees don’t get that luxury. No book deals. No TV hits. No army of reporters asking why the sink doesn’t work or why my medication didn’t arrive. If this is how America treats the most vulnerable people in its care, then the problem isn’t immigration. It’s us. Because silence isn’t neutral; it’s permission. And history has never been kind to societies that confuse detention with justice and cruelty with control.

Trump Discharged Felon Yeah, I know; you’re tired. This shit is exhausting. Guess what? Me too. But I’ve spent the last 8 years throwing punches in the dark so truth could get a little daylight. And now I’m asking you to step into the ring with me. Because if you’re still reading this, you already get it: This isn’t just a newsletter. It’s a rally cry. A war drum. A line in the sand. We are not passive observers of the downfall. We are the resistance. We call out the liars. We drag corruption by the collar into the sunlight. We say the quiet parts out loud; and we don’t flinch. But here’s the truth: I can’t do this solo. Not anymore. The storm is already here. We are standing in it. And it’s wearing stars and stripes like camouflage, preaching “freedom” while it sells fascism at retail. So let me ask you: Are. You. In? Because this is not a scroll-and-forget read. This is a living, breathing, fire-breathing movement; and movements don’t move unless you do. We need to be louder than spin, tougher than propaganda, and impossible to gaslight. That takes more than clicks. More than likes. It takes skin in the game. So if you believe truth matters; if you’re sick of the bullshit, if you’re ready to stop screaming into the algorithm and start pushing back with purpose, this is your next step.

But let’s be clear: This isn’t about a book. It’s about backbone. It’s about calling out the gaslighters and refusing to be played. It’s about locking arms and saying, “Not. On. Our. Watch.” You want to make a difference? Then make it; right now. Because if we don’t fight for truth, no one will. But if we fight together? They can’t drown us out.

A guest post by Michael Cohen Principal of Crisis-X #1 and #8 NYT Bestseller Author Host of The Mea Culpa Podcast Co-Host of The Political Beatdown Former Personal Attorney To President Donald J. Trump and Discharged Felon COMMENTS: This is what this country has become thanks to people who don’t care about anything but guns, money, racism, spite and hatred. It’s disgraceful and sickening. This information literally makes me sick to my stomach. And what makes this whole situation even more disturbing and more despicable is this: “Trump’s budget bill benefits private immigration detention companies that donated to Trump”. “President Trump’s budget bill, the “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” allocates $45 billion for ICE to pay private contractors to implement mass detention of immigrants, paving the way for a huge windfall to companies that donated big to support Trump. In total, the two largest private immigration detention companies, CoreCivic and GEO Group, and their subsidiaries and executives, donated nearly $2.8 million to Trump’s 2024 election efforts and inaugural fund, according to a CREW analysis of FEC data. “90% of immigration detention in the U.S. is done by private, for-profit corporations that have multi–million dollar contracts with ICE. Expanding the Trump administration’s promised mass deportation of immigrants will depend on further reliance on those companies—and on targeting immigrants who are not criminals. “Since Trump’s inauguration, private ICE detention contractors such as Core Civic and GEO Group have already benefited financially through no-bid detention facility contracts. On April 7, ICE issued a $45 billion Request for Proposals by private contractors to increase capacity for people to be detained. Even before Congress passed the budget bill, by the end of June CoreCivic and GEO Group had already been awarded nine new or expanded contracts, and reopened facilities such as Delaney Hall in New Jersey (run by GEO) and the Dilley and Karnes family detention centers in Texas (run by CoreCivic and GEO). And who’s holding these companies accountable?

One of your very best pieces. Cuts to the heart of the matter. No hiding the facts. This needs amplifying and you did it. Having been briefly in a similar situation, I know my privilege was what saved my life. It had nothing to do with immigration so that your description cuts my heart when you project how much worse it is unto DEATH. Thank you for “being annoying” about this and never stop. YOUR VOICE on this subject is important. Thank you. When NAZI STEPHEN MILLER promoted FAMILY SEPARATION during the first REIGN OF TERROR, no records were kept.  No one knows where those children are and because parents are in other nations seaarching for their children...WHO KNOWS?  Imagine a PARENT searching for a CHILD!  It is reported that there are now 600 CHILDREN in ICE DETENTION....let's not forget them.  ICE GESTAPO is reportring 60,000 people in ICE GESTAPO DETENTION - they're NOT CRIMINALS!  Why are we DEPORTING NON-CRIMINALS?  Many of these people were WORKING & SUPPORTING THEIR FAMILIES....are they being DEPORTED solely because of their SKIN COLOR? Many have been active in their communities, some own busineses, many are known & well liked in their communities....they are OUR NEIGHBORS!  WE need to RE-THINK this LUNACY!  There were jobs in Massachusetts that went unfilled that immigrants were filling....let's stop the DEPORTATION LUNACY!
