active-crisis
— Delvin Francisco Rodriguez, 39, died December 14, 2025 at Merit Health Natchez after being found unresponsive at the facility December 4. His death was ruled a homicide — the 4th ICE custody death in 4 days nationally. CoreCivic claimed full medical staffing; detainees reported only 2 doctors and Rep. Thompson observed none during his April 9, 2026 visit. Thompson joined a Democratic lawsuit against the Trump administration for blocking congressional oversight access. The ACLU has called for the facility's closure.
