Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: A third migrant tied to a New Jersey ICE attention
- 0:07Speaker 1: center has died, and DHS says ICE is not responsible.
- 0:12Speaker 2: By releasing them. Two things do not happen. They do
- 0:16Speaker 2: not have to investigate that death, and they do not
- 0:18Speaker 2: have to report that death.
- 0:20Speaker 1: And the company tracking millions of license plates across the
- 0:23Speaker 1: country is making changes after growing privacy concerns.
- 0:27Speaker 3: That's what bothers me at most, the people that use
- 0:30Speaker 3: this stuff for personal gain.
- 0:32Speaker 1: And a new deal over Malcolm Jamal Warner's estate could
- 0:35Speaker 1: send most of his fortune to his daughter. It's Friday,
- 0:39Speaker 1: August fourteenth, from the Black Effects podcast Network. I Meim Brown.
- 0:44Speaker 1: This is front page and here are the day's biggest stories.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Stay with me. A third migrant tied to Delaney Hall,
- 0:55Speaker 1: New Jersey's largest immigration detention center, has died, and there
- 0:59Speaker 1: are new questions about when ICE is responsible for someone
- 1:03Speaker 1: in its custody. A migrant from Guatemala had been in
- 1:06Speaker 1: Delaney Hall for just one day when a nurse noticed
- 1:09Speaker 1: he appeared to be having a seizure. He was taken
- 1:12Speaker 1: to the hospital. Three days later, ICE released him from
- 1:14Speaker 1: custody while he was still hospitalized. He later died. DHS
- 1:19Speaker 1: says because the man was no longer in ICE custody
- 1:22Speaker 1: when he died, ICE was not required to report his death.
- 1:26Speaker 1: This comes from a recent policy change that ended a
- 1:29Speaker 1: requirement to report death within thirty days of someone being released.
- 1:33Speaker 3: This will not last forever, and we will hold this
- 1:37Speaker 3: administration accountable.
- 1:39Speaker 1: New Jersey lawmakers say that creates a loophole allowing ICE
- 1:42Speaker 1: to release someone who was seriously ill and then avoid
- 1:45Speaker 1: responsibility if that person dies.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Two things do not happen. They do not have to
- 1:51Speaker 2: investigate that death, and they do not have to report
- 1:54Speaker 2: that death to Congress and the public.
- 1:57Speaker 1: This is the third known death involving someone held out
- 2:00Speaker 1: a Delaty Hall since it reopened last year. The privately
- 2:03Speaker 1: run facility has also faced complaints about medical care, food,
- 2:07Speaker 1: and other conditions. New Jersey's Division of Civil Rights is
- 2:11Speaker 1: now investigating the facility. You've probably driven past them without
- 2:20Speaker 1: even noticing cameras that automatically take a picture of your
- 2:24Speaker 1: license plate. One of the biggest companies behind those cameras,
- 2:27Speaker 1: Flock Safety, is now changing some of its privacy rules
- 2:30Speaker 1: after growing backlash over how the technology is being used.
- 2:34Speaker 3: That's what bothers me of most now the people that
- 2:37Speaker 3: use this stuff for personal gain. The benefits I believe
- 2:41Speaker 3: outweigh the issues here.
- 2:43Speaker 1: So here's how it works. As your car passes a
- 2:46Speaker 1: FLOCK camera, it can record your license plate, the type
- 2:49Speaker 1: of car you're driving, where you were, and when you
- 2:52Speaker 1: were there. Police can search that information to find cars
- 2:55Speaker 1: connected to crimes, but privacy groups say the system also
- 2:58Speaker 1: creates a huge database tracking millions of people who aren't
- 3:01Speaker 1: suspected of doing anything wrong. Flock says it will now
- 3:05Speaker 1: keep that data for seven days instead of thirty. It's
- 3:08Speaker 1: also requiring pastecodes for searches and rolling out new technology
- 3:12Speaker 1: designed to catch suspicious searches and lock users out. The
- 3:16Speaker 1: changes come after reports of officers misusing the system, including
- 3:19Speaker 1: allegations that someone search for people for personal reasons, but
- 3:23Speaker 1: privacy advocates say the change doesn't go far enough. The
- 3:27Speaker 1: ACLU is pushing for the data to be kept for
- 3:30Speaker 1: only forty eight hours. There's a new development in the
- 3:38Speaker 1: fight over Malcolm Jamal Warner's estate, and his daughter could
- 3:42Speaker 1: end up receiving most all of it. Warner's mother, Pamela,
- 3:45Speaker 1: says she's reached a proposed settlement with representatives for her granddaughter.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Under that deal, Warner's daughter would receive the majority of
- 3:52Speaker 1: what remains in his trust and estate, and money would
- 3:55Speaker 1: also be set aside for her college education. A judge
- 3:59Speaker 1: still has to approve, but Warner's widow, Tanisha, was not
- 4:02Speaker 1: part of those negotiations, according to reports, and she has
- 4:06Speaker 1: a separate legal fight underway. Tanisha says that before they
- 4:09Speaker 1: were married, Warner agreed to take out a one million
- 4:12Speaker 1: dollar life insurance policy naming her as the only beneficiary,
- 4:16Speaker 1: but she says he never did. She is seeking about
- 4:19Speaker 1: one point two million dollars from the family trust for
- 4:21Speaker 1: that and other money. She says that she is owed.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, right now, everybody, like all of his
- 4:30Speaker 3: family members and everyone who has lost him, they are grieving.
- 4:34Speaker 3: You know what's been the biggest loss right now? My
- 4:37Speaker 3: daughter and I are just like you know. It's the
- 4:40Speaker 3: emotional capacity that I have can be very limited sometimes,
- 4:46Speaker 3: you know, And so I have to for myself decide
- 4:52Speaker 3: what do I have to give right now in this moment,
- 4:54Speaker 3: and whatever I have to give the first person to
- 4:57Speaker 3: get that as my daughter, and then the second myself.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Warner's mother says claims that she tried to keep money
- 5:04Speaker 1: away from her granddaughter are not true. She says her
- 5:07Speaker 1: son had separate plans in place to provide for his
- 5:09Speaker 1: wife and daughter. Tanisha says Warner was actually in the
- 5:12Speaker 1: process of updating his estate plan for her and their
- 5:15Speaker 1: daughter when he died. Malcolm Jamal Warner died in July
- 5:19Speaker 1: of last year after being caught in a current while
- 5:21Speaker 1: swimming in Costa Rica. He was fifty four years old.
- 5:25Speaker 1: For now, there are essentially two fights over his money,
- 5:28Speaker 1: the proposed deal involving his daughter, which still needs a
- 5:31Speaker 1: judge's approval, and his widow's separate claim for the money.
- 5:34Speaker 1: She says Warner promised her. That's your front page, I
