Death of Jose Chajon-Raxon Raises Concerns Over ICE Policy Changes and Accountability
- Jose Chajon-Raxon died after a seizure at Delaney Hall, an ICE detention center, shortly after being released on July 22.
- DHS stated it did not disclose Chajon-Raxon's death as it was not notified after he was sent to the hospital, reinforcing its policy that it is not responsible for deaths post-release.
- U.S. Rep. Rob Menendez criticized the policy change, arguing it creates a loophole for ICE to evade accountability for detainee deaths.
