Underwood questions Mullin on ICE deaths; HRW reports 52 since Jan 2025

Aug 30, 2026

The segment covers a June 25, 2026 House Appropriations subcommittee hearing where Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL) questioned DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin on deaths in ICE custody. Underwood highlighted medical neglect, a record 2025 death toll, the HRW/PHR 'Dying in Detention' report released that day documenting 52 deaths since January 2025, doubled mortality rates, and gaps in public death reporting since April 28, 2026. Mullin disputed the numbers as inaccurate, cited a 0.009% death rate and better staffing ratios than Illinois state prisons, and defended medical care. The chair intervened over interruptions. Underwood referenced a prior ICE director response and requested the report be entered into the record.
