A meeting between Mexican Foreign Secretary Roberto Velasco and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk reviewed human rights issues, including the deaths of Mexican citizens inside U.S. immigration detention facilities. The review traced the count to 14 nationals who died inside ICE detention and three who died during enforcement operations since President Trump's second term began. Separately, GEO Group operates detention facilities in California.
