ICE has transferred detainees during the pandemic without testing

In a federal court hearing on May 27, ICE admitted that it is not testing all detainees before transferring them to other facilities. ICE policy is currently to test detainees with symptoms, which may have already led to the transfer of asymptomatic detainees. The admission was made during a hearing regarding a temporary order to reduce the detainee population in South Florida immigration detention centers. Judge Cooke clarified in the hearing that the purpose of her order was not to encourage transfers, but rather reduce the detained population to limit transmission risks. She is expected to decide whether to extend the order within seven days.

CBP holding people in inhuman conditions

The U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona issued an order finding that CBP is violating the constitutional rights of immigration detainees by holding them in conditions of confinement that fail to meet their basic human needs, and directing CBP to take certain steps to improve conditions in those facilities, known as hieleras. The injunction stems from a class action lawsuit filed in June 2015 by a group of immigration detainees who alleged that they were subjected to inhumane and punitive conditions during their confinement in Tucson Sector CBP holding facilities.
