Inspections by the California Department of Justice confirmed what people in immigration custody have been saying since President Donald Trump took office — conditions at detention facilities have grown worse.
A report published May 15 by California Attorney General Rob Bonta found that overcrowding in the state’s seven ICE facilities that were operating last year led to inadequate medical care, food and hygiene as well as excessive use of force from guards. Investigators said that these issues violate ICE’s own detention standards.
