NPR obtained secret government inspection reports, which described 'negligent,' 'barbaric' and 'filthy' conditions inside immigration detention facilities. Here's what to know.
"President Biden continues to support moving away from the use of private detention facilities in the immigration detention system," a White House spokesperson added in a statement."We could be making a lot more progress if Congress would give us the necessary funds and reforms that we've been asking for since day one."
"I think they're concerned that they won't have the capacity to meet the demand and the overflow at the border," said Crow."And I kind of understand that concern. But that's why we're willing to work with them to try to figure out other solutions."Credit:In 2022, detainee Melvin Ariel Calero-Mendoza of Nicaragua died at the Aurora ICE Processing Center. According to ICE records, Calero-Mendoza had been complaining for weeks about pain and swelling in his leg.
The detention officer who called 911 gave the dispatcher the wrong address for the facility where he worked; he placed the dispatcher on hold when asked how paramedics could access the building and he did not know any of the specifics of the medical emergency. He also wrongly stated that Calero-Mendoza was in his"late 20s" when he was, in fact, 39 years old.
Rep. Crow, who represents Aurora, called the detention officer's actions on the 911 call"unacceptable." Since helping to pass aallowing members of congress to regularly access ICE detention facilities, Crow and his office have been making weekly visits to the Aurora ICE Processing Center to conduct oversight
