Largest ICE detention center in California violated order to provide adequate medical care: Monitor
The monitor reviewed 141 records and found delayed care, missed medication and weak oversight that put detainees at risk of immediate and long-term harm.
- A court-appointed monitor reported that the California City Immigration Processing Center fails to provide adequate medical care, citing 13 areas of deficiency including missing medications and delayed cancer treatment for detainees at the Mojave Desert facility.
- U.S. District Judge Maxine Chesney mandated the independent inquiry earlier this year after seven detainees filed a lawsuit alleging inhumane conditions and seeking to ensure the government provides "constitutionally adequate" medical care at the facility.
- Dr. Muthusamy Anandkumar reviewed 141 patient medical records and found "a recurring pattern of delayed identification of patient needs," stating this "indicates broader problems in the facility's healthcare delivery" rather than isolated lapses.
- CoreCivic spokesperson Ryan Gustin said the company is reviewing the monitor's report while maintaining that "nothing matters more to CoreCivic than the health, safety and well-being of the people in our care."
- A prior inspection 10 months ago by Disability Rights California identified similar failures in distributing medication for life-threatening conditions, highlighting persistent issues with medical oversight at the detention center.
