In Memorial

Since January 20, 2025, the United States has witnessed an unprecedented surge in deaths related to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. In 2025, at least 32 people died in ICE custody—the highest number in more than two decades—and deaths in early 2026 have continued this trend, compounded by fatal use of force during enforcement operations.

​​

Due to limited transparency and reporting practices, there is no comprehensive official accounting of all individuals who have died as a result of ICE actions, including deaths following release from custody when imminent fatal conditions were present

This page exists because death at the hands of law enforcement is too often laundered after the fact. Paperwork is filed. Press releases are issued. Narratives are rewritten. Its victims are hardened beyond recognition as they are recast as threats, criminals, or inevitabilities, and made ungrievable to the public, even as their families are told to accept what they know is untrue. This page exists because memory is a moral act, and because naming what happened without euphemism is a necessary refusal of the administrative erasure that follows state violence. Death under government authority carries moral weight whether or not it is deemed convenient to acknowledge it.

 

Let it be said plainly: this page does not exist to claim that every person named here was perfect, innocent of all wrongdoing, or uncomplicated. That is not the standard. The standard is this: no person is disposable, no person is owed death by administrative process, and no arm of the state is entitled to act as judge, jury, and executioner. Every person is owed due process. Every person is owed a life not ended by force under color of law.

I stand with you, Indivisible Rutherford, in grief and in anger. I have a candle lit for the lost, and a fire in my heart for justice for their murders. We continue to resist, we fight even harder... Fear will not win, cruelty will not win, abuse will not win, hatred and bigotry will not win.


Sincerely, your friend from Indivisible Atlanta.
