Accountability dossier
Krome is an ICE-run service processing center, not a contractor-operated facility, and no source indexed here establishes an operator other than the agency. The inspector general inspected it unannounced in 2024, ICE inspected it again that September and in 2025, and ICE disclosed the death of a man held in the Krome medical housing unit in June 2025.
Complete dossier · Last reviewed August 20, 2026
Identity, agency role, population, two inspector-general and ICE inspection records, congressional oversight and one facility-specific ICE death disclosure are sourced. A second October 2025 ICE death notice names only the ERO Miami field office and is held unpublished. The operator role is deliberately left unresolved.

Lanes are shown side by side because they share a facility and a calendar, not a cause. Chronological proximity does not establish causation.
Only dated events are plotted. Records carrying an as-of or dataset-cutoff date, such as ICE’s fiscal-year population aggregates, are listed in the table instead, because a data-pull date is not the date something happened.

Death disclosed by ICE, June 2025

ICE news release, June 29, 2025
Linked to this facility by
ICE's own notice names the Krome medical housing unit.
What this does not establish
ICE recorded the cause as under investigation. Nothing here establishes preventability, inadequate care, or any connection to a contract or contractor.
Krome is an ICE service processing center; the award indexed here buys detention services at it from a contractor.
Federal and agency inspectors examined the facility on dated visits in 2024 and 2025.
ICE disclosed a death of a person held in the Krome medical housing unit in June 2025.
Members of Congress raised conditions at Krome with the DHS secretary in April 2025.
What this does not establish
Who operates Krome. A detention-services award does not establish an operator, and no other indexed source names one.
That any award or modification caused any documented condition, illness, or death.
That the conditions described in the congressional letter were investigated or substantiated.
That the October 2025 death ICE disclosed in ERO Miami custody occurred at Krome. That notice records a field office, not a named facility, so this dossier does not publish or count it.
Reviewed name matches
Krome Service Processing Center — ICE's June 2025 death notice uses the shortened name for the same Miami service processing center named in its inspection reports.
