The ACLU filed a FOIA suit against the Department of Homeland Security saying its Immigration and Customs Enforcement service had not responded for more than a year to a request for information on detainees who have died in custody. It estimates there have been at least 69 such deaths, which it believes are the result of poor health care at the correctional facilities where they are being held. (7/1/08)
