"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

ADF client: "They just tell us we are in quarantine & that's it. They lock us in and only let us 30 minutes out. They don’t even want to give water. Some sinks do not work to drink water from. Only in the 30 minutes is how people drink water, heat up food, or talk on the phone."

ICE's COVID site lists one positive case at ADF. The true number is 53 positive cases, 20 of whom are Freihart Class Members who are medically vulnerable. Not only is ICE responsible for systemic medical neglect and abuse, but they lie and suppress the facts. #ShutDownAdelanto
