@ICEgov Here's some of what we've documented:

A person detained at #Adelanto called our Hotline to report broken AC units, a lack of soap in the dispensers, and guards going into work with no PPE.

#DefundHate

A loved one of a person detained at La Palma called our Hotline this week:

"Hygiene there is virtually non existent. There is no soap or toilet paper, not free or for purchase. They never tell detained men what's happening, just leave them locked up all day long."

#DefundHate

Cont: "When I tried to plead on his behalf, an ICE officer laughed at me and told me that 'they are well taken care of'

But I know for a fact that my husband has suffered medical neglect.

He will be safer home with us."

#DefundHate

From a Hotline caller detained at River Correctional Center, where there are at least 2 positive cases:

"It's rumored that there may be around 70 cases of people with the virus as there have been cases of people with high fever temperatures around 100-105 degrees."

#DefundHate

A Hotline call from the Buffalo Processing Center:

"I have a respiratory illness. I have been asking to receive medical services for my condition for weeks now.

I need to refill my prescription & I am honestly very concerned that I will die if I get the virus."

#DefundHate

From 2 Hotline Callers detained at Otay Mesa:

"I have heard officers saying that it has been over 4 years since they cleaned the ventilation system"

"People protesting got pepper sprayed. We want to expose conditions at this facility"
