A new initiative called the National Immigrant Bond Fund has been created to collect donations and work with community groups to help men and women detained in ICE raids pay bond so they can pursue their case outside of jail.

The Florida Immigrant Coalition has put out a call for assistance to raise money to cover funeral costs for the family of Valery Joseph, the latest person to die in immigrant detention.

A federal investigation into the deaths of two immigrants who died in federal custody found that the U.S. immigration agency does not effectively monitor its detention facilities' compliance with its own detention standards.

As U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement responds to media reports and Congressional testimony about poor medical care in its detention facilities, its representatives have been selective about what parts of the agency's medical coverage they discuss.
