00:00Nobody talked about food being adulterated and unedible at Delaney Hall.
00:07Not a single Republican MAGA witness testified about the denial of medical care to detainees.
00:17But let me ask you, Mr. Merchowski, you've never worked for a for-profit corporation that runs for-profit detention
00:32facilities, have you?
00:35Congressman, thanks for the question.
00:37Have you, yes or no?
00:38No.
00:39And when's the last time you visited Delaney Hall?
00:44When Delaney Hall, before I retired, sir, before it closed in 2017.
00:48Yeah, that's been what?
00:49I don't know if you heard me.
00:50Almost 10 years ago.
00:52What about you, Mr. Del Sueto?
00:56When's the last time you visited Delaney Hall?
00:59Del Cueto, sir.
01:01Del Cueto, I'm sorry.
01:02I have not visited Delaney Hall.
01:04Never in your life?
01:05No, sir, but I have been at various different immigration facilities that have detained people.
01:10You have no personal knowledge upon which to reasonably conclude that the reports about cruel and inhumane and unusual or
01:20not unusual at Trump ICE facilities,
01:24you have no personal knowledge upon which you can reasonably conclude that what Mr. Sinha has reported about the conditions
01:34at Delaney Hall are true or false.
01:36Isn't that correct?
01:37My personal knowledge would be from seeing other immigration detention facilities throughout my career.
01:41You've never been to Delaney Hall, though?
01:44I haven't, but I've been to numerous other immigration detention facilities.
01:48What you saw at your detention facilities, were those public or private, by the way?
01:53They were both.
01:53You've always worked for public.
01:55No, sir, they were both private and public as well as state-run facilities.
01:58But you don't know what's going on at Delaney Hall.
02:01Let me ask Mr. Sinha.
02:03Mr. Sinha, can you tell us more about the 50 people who have died in ICE custody since Trump returned
02:14to office?
02:15And can you opine on the fact that 2026 is already the deadliest year in immigration detention since the Department
02:24of Homeland Security was founded?
02:27Thank you for the question, Congressman.
02:30I'll let you answer that question, and then the gentleman's time has expired.
02:34Thank you, Mr. Chair.
02:38The number of deaths is disproportionate to even the increase of detention in this country.
02:44The number of people detained across the country has increased by 77%, and also the deaths in custody have increased
02:55by 300%.
02:56So we're talking about a radical increase in the number of people that are killed or dying while detained in
03:05immigration detention.
03:08That's right.
03:10It's a shame that we are allowing that.
03:13Now, geo-groups that have been here to defend themselves, but they were not called, and nor were ICE or
03:22Customs and Border Patrol, Customs and Border Protection.
03:25The gentleman's time has expired.
03:26Nobody called, just three guys with no personal knowledge.
03:30With that, I yield back.
03:31I thank the gentleman.
