These\u2063 findings, which are now being made public for the first time, were revealed in\u2062 a three-year investigation by NPR.<\/p>\n<h3>A Culture \u200dof Indifference and Negligence<\/h3>\n<p>The investigation exposed a culture of indifference and negligence among <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-pledges-orderly-transition-of-power\/\" title=\"President Trump pledges orderly transition of power\">local law enforcement<\/a> \u2064and privately hired contractors responsible \u200dfor the care of tens\u2062 of thousands of illegal immigrants passing through these facilities between 2017 and 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Inspectors found numerous violations of basic care protocols, with some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/barbaric-conditions-across-ice-detention-centers-nationwide-revealed-in-new-reports\/\" title=\"New reports expose 'barbaric' conditions in ICE detention centers.\">facilities facing\u2064 potential closure due<\/a> to the severity of \u200bthe conditions. &#8220;Any \u2063of these findings alone can be considered an &#8216;Immediate Jeopardy&#8217; according to the Center[s] for Medicare &#038; Medicaid Services (CMS) and can lead to the closure of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mayo-clinic-laying-off-700-unvaccinated-staff-over-covid-policies\/\" title=\"Mayo Clinic Laying Off 700 Unvaccinated Staff Over COVID Policies\">large health systems<\/a>,&#8221; one inspector wrote.<\/p>\n<h3>Disturbing Examples of Inhumane Treatment<\/h3>\n<p>The documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request and lawsuit against DHS revealed shocking incidents\u2064 of\u200d mistreatment. For instance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A man at an ICE facility in Michigan was returned to the general population after surgery,\u2062 despite having surgical drains and an open wound.<\/li>\n<li>In Pennsylvania, correctional \u2064officers restrained a mentally ill man \u200cin a \u2062chair\u200c and had a female\u2062 officer cut off his clothes during a strip search.<\/li>\n<li>An Iranian man died at an ICE detention center \u2064in Colorado\u2062 after being abruptly cut off from opioid medication. Nurses dismissed\u200b his withdrawal symptoms as &#8220;faking.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Another immigrant at the same facility contracted HIV but\u2062 was never informed by medical staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These\u2063 examples highlight the complete lack of care and supervision that detainees have been subjected\u2062 to, prompting\u2064 one inspector to describe it as \u2062&#8221;one of the most egregious failures to provide optimal care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Response\u200c from DHS \u2064and GEO Group<\/h3>\n<p>The\u2064 Department of Homeland Security defended ICE&#8217;s detention facilities and \u2064standards, emphasizing their \u200bcommitment to promoting \u2062safe \u200cand \u2062humane environments.\u200c The GEO Group, which operates and staffs some of these\u2063 facilities, pushed back against the\u2063 accusations, stating that they follow all requirements\u200d and processes \u200boutlined by the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>With millions of \u200billegal immigrants in the United States, ICE faces the challenge of prioritizing who to arrest and detain while awaiting immigration hearings. However, the investigation&#8217;s findings \u2064raise serious concerns about the \u2063treatment \u200band care of those in custody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>neglect in immigration detention centers and contracted jails.
