A detention center located in New Mexico is under scrutiny after a complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties is accusing the Cibola County Correctional Center of presenting "inadequate or nonexistent" medical care for migrants being detained there. The report also claims inmates and staff at the center conduct drug-dealing activities there.
The correctional center is a private prison contracted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and owned and operated by CoreCivic, which also owns two other prisons in New Mexico, including the Torrance County Detention Facility which has also received complaints of inhumane treatment and abuse by staff as they await a resolution to their asylum requests.
