In South Africa immigrants have died at the hands of xenophobic mobs, rather than at the hands of government agencies.
In other news from Washington, two top Bush administration officials are expected to come under questioning today over the treatment of immigration prisoners in US custody. Several reports have emerged recently of detainee deaths and forcible injections of psychotropic drugs. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and other top Democrats will question Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Immigration and Customs Enforcement head Julie Myers. According to the Washington Post, eighty-three detainees have died in custody or soon after during the past five years.

O gees, this is news to me. And I thought I was on top of U.S. immigration news.
In the U.S., most people detained for being in the country without official permission are placed in regular jails or prisons until their case is reviewed and removal is ordered by a judge. That seemed miserable enough to me (otherwise law-abiding, working class people forced into cells with rapists, thieves and murderers) without this business of drugging.
Thanks for bringing this up.
