A Third Migrant Dies Tied to Delaney Hall, Flock Safety Adds New Privacy Safeguards, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner's Daughter Set to Inherit the Majority of His Estate

A third migrant has died in connection with Delaney Hall, New Jersey's largest immigrant detention facility, but the Department of Homeland Security says the man was no longer in ICE custody at the time of his death. Flock Safety, the police tech company that scans and tracks Americans' license plates through pole-mounted cameras, is announcing new privacy safeguards. And Malcolm-Jamal Warner's mother has reached a proposed settlement that would send the majority of his trust and estate to his daughter.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
A third migrant tied to a New Jersey ICE attention
center has died, and DHS says ICE is not responsible.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
By releasing them. Two things do not happen. They do
not have to investigate that death, and they do not
have to report that death.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
And the company tracking millions of license plates across the
country is making changes after growing privacy concerns.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
That's what bothers me at most, the people that use
this stuff for personal gain.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
And a new deal over Malcolm Jamal Warner's estate could
send most of his fortune to his daughter. It's Friday,
August fourteenth, from the Black Effects podcast Network. I Meim Brown.
This is front page and here are the day's biggest stories.
Stay with me. A third migrant tied to Delaney Hall,

(00:55):
New Jersey's largest immigration detention center, has died, and there
are new questions about when ICE is responsible for someone
in its custody. A migrant from Guatemala had been in
Delaney Hall for just one day when a nurse noticed
he appeared to be having a seizure. He was taken
to the hospital. Three days later, ICE released him from
custody while he was still hospitalized. He later died. DHS

(01:19):
says because the man was no longer in ICE custody
when he died, ICE was not required to report his death.
This comes from a recent policy change that ended a
requirement to report death within thirty days of someone being released.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
This will not last forever, and we will hold this
administration accountable.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
New Jersey lawmakers say that creates a loophole allowing ICE
to release someone who was seriously ill and then avoid
responsibility if that person dies.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Two things do not happen. They do not have to
investigate that death, and they do not have to report
that death to Congress and the public.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
This is the third known death involving someone held out
a Delaty Hall since it reopened last year. The privately
run facility has also faced complaints about medical care, food,
and other conditions. New Jersey's Division of Civil Rights is
now investigating the facility. You've probably driven past them without

(02:20):
even noticing cameras that automatically take a picture of your
license plate. One of the biggest companies behind those cameras,
Flock Safety, is now changing some of its privacy rules
after growing backlash over how the technology is being used.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
That's what bothers me of most now the people that
use this stuff for personal gain. The benefits I believe
outweigh the issues here.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
So here's how it works. As your car passes a
FLOCK camera, it can record your license plate, the type
of car you're driving, where you were, and when you
were there. Police can search that information to find cars
connected to crimes, but privacy groups say the system also
creates a huge database tracking millions of people who aren't
suspected of doing anything wrong. Flock says it will now

(03:05):
keep that data for seven days instead of thirty. It's
also requiring pastecodes for searches and rolling out new technology
designed to catch suspicious searches and lock users out. The
changes come after reports of officers misusing the system, including
allegations that someone search for people for personal reasons, but
privacy advocates say the change doesn't go far enough. The

(03:27):
ACLU is pushing for the data to be kept for
only forty eight hours. There's a new development in the
fight over Malcolm Jamal Warner's estate, and his daughter could
end up receiving most all of it. Warner's mother, Pamela,
says she's reached a proposed settlement with representatives for her granddaughter.

(03:49):
Under that deal, Warner's daughter would receive the majority of
what remains in his trust and estate, and money would
also be set aside for her college education. A judge
still has to approve, but Warner's widow, Tanisha, was not
part of those negotiations, according to reports, and she has
a separate legal fight underway. Tanisha says that before they
were married, Warner agreed to take out a one million

(04:12):
dollar life insurance policy naming her as the only beneficiary,
but she says he never did. She is seeking about
one point two million dollars from the family trust for
that and other money. She says that she is owed.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, you know, right now, everybody, like all of his
family members and everyone who has lost him, they are grieving.
You know what's been the biggest loss right now? My
daughter and I are just like you know. It's the
emotional capacity that I have can be very limited sometimes,

(04:46):
you know, And so I have to for myself decide
what do I have to give right now in this moment,
and whatever I have to give the first person to
get that as my daughter, and then the second myself.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Warner's mother says claims that she tried to keep money
away from her granddaughter are not true. She says her
son had separate plans in place to provide for his
wife and daughter. Tanisha says Warner was actually in the
process of updating his estate plan for her and their
daughter when he died. Malcolm Jamal Warner died in July
of last year after being caught in a current while

(05:21):
swimming in Costa Rica. He was fifty four years old.
For now, there are essentially two fights over his money,
the proposed deal involving his daughter, which still needs a
judge's approval, and his widow's separate claim for the money.
She says Warner promised her. That's your front page, I
