The similarities between this and the early deaths in WWII concentration camps is chilling, with one difference. The Nazis were initially required to report deaths in the camps.
This is even worse.

Summary: On social media, the son-in-law of Jorge Rosales confirmed that Rosales died while in ICE custody. But more than two weeks later, there is no official acknowledgmentno death notice, no facility record, and no entry on ICEs public Detainee Death Reporting page. This directly violates ICE policy and raises urgent questions about transparency and accountability.
1. Who Was Jorge Rosales?
Very little is publicly known about Jorge Rosales, other than the heartfelt testimony of his family. His son-in-law, in a post shared by u/hopeemmab, stated that Rosales passed away in detention and gave permission for his story to be shared. The family is calling for answers. ICE has offered none.
2. What Does the Policy Say?
According to ICEs 2021 policy on Notification, Review, and Reporting Requirements for Detainee Deaths:
ICE must issue a public report within two business days of a detainees death.
All in-custody deaths must undergo internal investigation and be posted on the official ICE website.
DHS is federally mandated to publish the full death review within 90 days.
As of June 23, 2025, there is no record of Jorge Rosaless death under Fiscal Year 2025 or prior entries.
3. Why Does This Matter?
This isnt just about one manits about the systemic erasure of accountability. When a person dies under government custody, their name deserves to be said, their death acknowledged, and the circumstances made public. Anything less invites impunity.
If ICE can disappear a name, it can disappear the truth. And maybe thats the point.
4. What Now?
We call for the following:
Immediate release of Jorge Rosaless death record by ICE.
Independent verification through FOIA requests and third-party watchdogs.
Support for the Rosales family, who are left grieving and demanding answers.

Once in that 3rd country, such as Sudan, a payment of money or shipment of arms etc. will provide the payment to some group and the person who was a "problem" will be reported to have been shot "while trying to escape after assaulting a guard" or some other bogus claim. It's the MAGA/GQP brand.

With the Border Patrol being what it is, I would guess there is all kinds of "disappearing" going on at the Mexican Border.....

(13,003 posts)during the first Term of Trump, how hundreds of children were forcibly separated from their parents at the border, kept in massive chained in fenced areas, and were Disappeared WITH NO RECORDS AND NO PAPER TRAIL??????? Several Senators went down to see the children, and Armed Border Patrol denied them access to even go inside these mini compounds of separated children..........??????????????
No one can tell you what happened to the Children, much less their parents.....
I doubt anything has changed..............
