Gas-leak allegations surfaced in 2026 at two privately operated ICE facilities — Adams County in Mississippi, where detainees reported denied medical care, and Aurora in Colorado, where officials dismissed complaints as a hoax. The pattern coincides with a third death reported in August 2026 at New Jersey's Delaney Hall, operated by GEO Group, raising questions about ICE oversight of its contracted network.
