A report detailing abuses that illegal immigrants suffered while in federal custody has prompted advocates to renew their calls for President Joe Biden to follow through on his promise to end privately operated United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers.
Immigration lawyers and civil rights groups are furious with the Biden administration following the release of an NPR report this week that exposed horrific medical, mental, and physical experiences that immigrants endured while under federal watch.
Experts hired by the government during the Trump administration to internally audit dozens of ICE detention centers and contracted local jails documented egregious conditions during their tour across 16 states. Although Biden took office and quickly issued an executive order to stop handing companies contracts to run the Justice Department's Bureau of Prisons, he did not do so for immigration jails, where noncitizens illegally in the United States may be held as they go through removal proceedings in court. Immigration offenses are not criminal and go before an administrative judge.
Earlier this year, ICE announced plans to close the Etowah Detention Center in Gadsen, Alabama; and scale back the use of the Glades County Detention Center in Moore Haven, Florida; the Winn Correctional Center in Winnfield, Louisianan; and the Alamance County Detention Facility in Graham, North Carolina. Winn is run by LaSalle Corrections, while the others were local jails operated by sheriff's departments.
Not only has the Biden administration fallen short of a campaign promise, but it is moving forward on building a massive new headquarters for ICE at the Department of Homeland Security's national headquarters in Washington, D.C.
