Immigrant detainees at detention facilities across California face long periods of confinement and barriers to medical treatment, a state audit revealed
This file photo taken on March 14, 2017 shows a sheriff's deputy talking to an immigration detainee at the Theo Lacy Facility, a county jail which also houses immigration detainees arrested by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Orange, California.
“We took the assignment very seriously,” he said. “We hope that other states are watching because everyone in this country has constitutional rights and everyone at the end of the day — child and adult — deserves to be treated in a human way.” “The state lacks complete information about how much it costs and what conditions the detainees face,” that report said. “Also unclear are how many detainees are being held throughout California, where they are being held, and for how long.”
