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
The @ICEgov immigrant detention center in the High Desert has been abusing hundreds of people, each with families and communities. Our local government shouldn’t be working for a prison corporation. We say #ShutDownAdelanto#CommunitesNotCages@CityofAdelanto
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.
7 people have died at Adelanto since it opened. Just last yr, people reported that GEO Group used a toxic chemical disinfectant inside the facility, causing people to develop bloody noses, burning eyes
2020 was the deadliest fiscal yr in ICE custody since 2005. W/ detention #'s currently at their lowest in 20 yrs, #FirstTen to #CommunitiesNotCages underscores the urgent need to close detention centers & release people now
The #FirstTen detention centers are emblematic of how the immigration detention system as a whole is inherently abusive, unjust and fatally flawed beyond repair. #CommunitiesNotCages
.@Potus@vp@SecMayorkas With ICE detention #'s at its lowest in 20 yrs, the # of people in ICE custody should trend down as ppl are released & facilities are closed. We urge you to close the #FirstTen detention centers & cancel their contracts. #CommunitiesNotCages
.@POTUS@VP@SecMayorkas Yesterday, communities across the US took action to call on the Biden administration to shut down the #FirstTen detention centers & cancel their contracts during your first year in office. #CommunitiesNotCages
