There is a health crisis at the local Adelanto ICE jail. ICE & GEO fail to follow sanitary food and water guidelines causing an H.pylori outbreak @SBCountyPH Act now before it's too late.
#ShutDownAdelanto #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages
@GEOgroup has failed to follow @SBCountyPH safety recommendations. Instead the unsanitary conditions expose immigrants to H.pylori and put immigrants' lives at risk. @POTUS shut it down once and for all! #ShutDownAdelanto #FirstTen #CommunitiesNotCages

The 10 immigration detention centers communities are calling on the Biden administration to close down represent every single detention center where immigrants needlessly suffer. This list represents a beginning to dismantling ICE detention, a #FirstTen to #CommunitiesNotCages.⁣
The Adelanto Detention Center’s record is rife with abuse. This month, Martin Vargas tragically died, 3 days after ICE released him from the CA facility after he suffered from a stroke & COVID-19 inside.

"Whether forcibly removing women’s uteruses or refusing medical treatment to those with COVID-19, no detainee is safe in immigration custody." - Munmeeth Soni, ImmDef Director of Litigation and Advocacy. lat.ms/2HeoCEs
"This outbreak is further proof that ICE and the Trump Administration have zero regard for human life. What ICE is doing to detainees is nothing short of criminal. We must put an end to ICE and end immigration detention once and for all. " - Munmeeth Soni, Director of Litigation
ADF: Our clients speak of people sitting right next to them coughing up blood, fainting, and vomiting. When we asked what the guards have told them, they said one word: nothing. #FreeThemAll

“Rather than a 'City with Unlimited Possibilities', Adelanto has been the source of unlimited pain and torture for our clients. Last night the community spoke with tears in our eyes because we speak for the thousands imprisoned at ADF who fear for their lives every day..." Image
"...We look to Adelanto City Councilmembers to invest in the possibilities that come when you save lives, protect and reunite families and to begin to end the suffering that this facility has caused.” - ImmDef Director of Legal Services, Joyce Noche #ShutDownAdelanto #SayNo2GEO

GEO can’t cover up the truth. Detention is inhumane, unnecessary, and carries a shocking record of abuse and in-custody deaths. We’ve been visiting with impacted persons detained at #Adelanto since 2012. We know just how terrible this immigrant prison is.

Thread 👇
In 2015 we co-authored an investigative report w/@DetentionWatch that exposed not only the sheer brutality of #Adelanto, but also how it was far from the economic savior private prison GEO Group pitched it to be.

We need #CommunitiesNotCages

@DetentionWatch In 2018, we released the first national study focusing on abuse motivated by hate and bias toward asylum seekers and other individuals in U.S. immigration detention.

Here's how GEO staff verbally abused immigrants in their custody:
