The Department of Homeland Security is actively seeking to fill over 40 medical roles within its immigration detention centers nationwide, aiming to bolster its healthcare services.

According to a report by Politico, the effort to expand the medical workforce includes recruiting a variety of professionals such as doctors, psychologists, nurses, dentists, and medical administrators, among others.

As of Wednesday evening, there are 48 job openings listed under the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Health Service Corps on the ICE USA Jobs portal.

These openings span ICE detention centers across the country, including in areas where there have been reports of migrant fatalities.

In a related incident reported by NewsNation in June, a Canadian detainee in an ICE facility in Miami was found unresponsive, marking the 13th death in such facilities since October.

An additional seven deaths have been announced by the federal agency since, taking the total to 20 deaths in that time.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., a member of the subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship, wrote in a social media post that 20 individuals have died under such circumstances since President Donald Trump began his second term.

“Trump’s ICE is detaining people in private prisons that put profit over health. There must be accountability and oversight NOW,” she wrote Friday.
