Opinion: Immigration detention centers could be the next pandemic hot spot (via latimesopinion)
for the novel coronavirus after falling ill. So far, officials say, they have seen no evidence that it has spread, but we know how that story is going to play out.
On any given day the federal government has more than 50,000 people in detention as they await deportation hearings. Conditions in some cases are deplorable, and the notion that they might be able to stay a safe distance away from each other and their jailers is laughable. Yet the government insists on keeping them locked up, even people who have been convicted of no crimes and are merely suspected of being in the country illegally — a civil infraction in most cases. And we’re forcing them to live in conditions that risk their lives., our jails and prisons are dangerous places during a pandemic, where inmates are “virtually defenseless” against the virus.
