State Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez brought about 1,000 masks to donate to detainees at Otay Mesa Detention Center but was turned away.
As of Friday evening, at least 111 people in custody had tested positive for the virus, according to facility documents. Of those, 67 are in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, meaning they are not being held for criminal reasons but instead waiting for immigration court cases or to be deported. The other 44 are U.S. Marshals Service inmates who are in criminal custody.
According to the documents, 17 CoreCivic staffers and eight medical staffers had also tested positive for the virus. ICE’s website says that eight of its employees at the facility have tested positive. It’s not clear whether that includes any of the medical staff.When Gonzalez and the family member of a detainee tried to carry the boxes of masks to Otay Mesa’s entrance, they were stopped by a guard in a van and sent back to the edge of the parking lot.
Leaving the masks behind, Gonzalez went inside. About 10 minutes later, she walked back out. She hadn’t been allowed to speak to any of the building’s officials.ICE and the U.S. Marshals Service did not respond to requests for comment. CoreCivic deferred to ICE.Both ICE and CoreCivic have said that they are following national guidelines to care for people held at Otay Mesa.
