ICE detainees are dying by suicide at an 'alarming' rate, an AP investigation finds

Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees are taking their own lives at a pace that’s unprecedented in the agency’s two-decade history,

Brayan Rayo Garzon was distraught. Detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he was on his fourth day of isolation in a Missouri jail as he battled the fevers and chills of COVID-19.

His request for mental health treatment had been put off, records show, and staff had forbidden Rayo from making his nightly call to his mother as a precaution intended to prevent the spread of illness.

He pleaded with his jailers in handwritten notes to arrange a conversation with her. “I feel in my heart that she’s very worried about me,” he wrote in Spanish.

A guard collected the note and walked away. Within an hour, jail records show, he was found unconscious in his cell. An autopsy determined he killed himself.

This video features commentary by Keith Edwards regarding a recent interview between Donald Trump and NBC's Kristen Welker. The host praises Welker for her persistent questioning and for pushing back against Trump's claims regarding election fraud.

Key takeaways from the video:

The Interview Walkout (0:04 - 3:55): Donald Trump cut his interview with Kristen Welker short after she repeatedly pressed him for evidence to support his claims that the election was rigged or stolen. Edwards highlights this moment as an example of effective journalism.

The "Toddler" Behavior (3:58 - 5:53): The host characterizes Trump's decision to leave the interview when faced with pushback as immature, arguing that the public should see that he cannot provide evidence for his repeated claims.

January 6th and the "Slush Fund" (5:54 - 8:31): Trump was asked about providing taxpayer compensation to individuals who assaulted police officers during the January 6th attack on the Capitol. He did not explicitly rule out the idea, blaming "dirty cops" and government "weaponization" instead.

Critique of the Press and DOJ (8:32 - 10:29): The host expresses frustration that the Department of Justice focused on low-level offenders regarding January 6th rather than holding Trump accountable sooner, concluding that his ongoing political presence is a failure of the American justice system.
