Deadly Failures: Preventable Deaths in U.S. Immigrant Detention
Deadly Failures: Preventable Deaths in U.S. Immigration Detention, a new research report from the ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ (ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅), Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), and American Oversight, provides a comprehensive examination of the deaths of 52 people who died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody from 2017-2021. Based on a review of over 14,500 pages of documents and independent medical expert reviews, the report exposes the ways in which the Department of Homeland Security has failed to conduct rigorous investigations, impose meaningful consequences, or improve conditions that cause immigrants to die in ICE detention. Report analysis also incorporates the review of ICEβs own investigatory reports into deaths in custody by independent medical experts, as well as interviews with two family members of people who died in ICE detention during the studied period. The report concludes with actionable recommendations for Department of Homeland Security, Congress, and state/local governments.

Policing Progress: Findings from a National Survey of LGBTQ+ Peopleβs Experiences with Law Enforcement
Policing Progress: Findings from a National Survey of LGBTQ+ Peopleβs Experiences, an ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ research report, documents LGBTQ+ communitiesβ experiences with police and the disparate treatment they face. In collaboration with scholars from University of California, Irvine and University of the Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, this research uses a national probability sample to examine differences between LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ people, as well as within the diverse LGBTQ+ community. Findings reveal that unique intersections of gender, sexuality, race, and socioeconomic status are associated with different experiences with and attitudes toward law enforcement. The report concludes with concrete recommendations for law enforcement and legislatures.
