Dear Senator / Representative:
I want you to make sure all persons in DHS custody get medical care.
DHS contracts with third-party providers like doctors, hospitals and pharmacies to provide “medically necessary” care that includes “dialysis, prenatal care, oncology, [and] chemotherapy.”
DHS haled payments to providers in October 2025, triggering a severe health crisis. Why? Sen. Tommy Tuberville falsely claiming that the VA was funding ICE health care services rather than acting like a pass-through. Then an obscure nonprofit sued ICE to see the VA payment records.
This payment suspension coincides with a fivefold increase in detainee deaths and systemic denials of life-saving care.
Although payments to third parties were supposed to resume on April 30, 2026, they did not. Now they are supposed to begin sometime in May or June.
DHS has more than enough budget to make these payments and provide adequate medical care to person detained.
I want you to raise this issue within Congress. Demand hearings. Demand that the White House re-integrate the VA payment system and immediately pay those seven months of invoices. Do your job of oversight.
