The Department of Homeland Security said it observed "egregious" violations at four facilities for housing Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees.
In the
general report released on Thursday, DHS said it observed overly restrictive segregation, inadequate medical care, unreported security risks and food safety issues, among other violations at facilities in Adelanto, Calif., Essex County, N.J., LaSalle, La., and Aurora, Colo., that were subject to unannounced visits.
"In response to concerns raised by immigrant rights groups and complaints to the Office of Inspector General Hotline about conditions for detainees held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, we conducted unannounced inspections at four detention facilities to evaluate their compliance with ICE detention standards," DHS said.
The report stated that DHS inspectors found
expired food at all four facilities and segregation practices that infringed on detainee rights and violated standards at three facilities.Two facilities
failed to provide recreation outside housing units and two had dilapidated and moldy bathrooms.
