U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement must release children held in the country’s three family detention centers by July 17 because of the danger posed by the coronavirus pandemic, a federal judge in Los Angeles ordered.
U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee said in a ruling Friday that children held for more than 20 days at ICE family residential centers should be released by July 17 to "non-congregate settings" that include "suitable sponsors" and even to their own parents, who can also be released if conditions warrant it.
The centers “are ‘on fire’ and there is no more time for half measures,” Gee wrote.
Most weekdays, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has published data on the number of COVID-19 tests administered to people detained in immigration facilities, the number of detained individuals with confirmed cases of the virus, and a by-facility breakdown of those who have tested positive. Yet for a full month until April 28, ICE provided no information regarding the number of tests it had performed. In recent days, ICE has begun to disclose by facility the number of individuals who have tested positive who are in isolation or otherwise being monitored, as well as the number who have died while in custody following a coronavirus diagnosis. The data paint a grim picture of a virus that has spread quickly and dramatically within detention facilities and throughout the network of facilities around the country—and of a federal agency that has ignored commonsense measures to halt its spread.
The data also hint at the existence of a problem far more significant than what the agency has acknowledged. Although ICE has slowly and reluctantly agreed to release these reports, gaps in the data raise significant questions that must be answered if solutions are to be identified that protect human life and promote public health.
