Protesters outside the Department of Homeland Security processing center in El Paso in June. By Joe Davidson Joe Davidson Columnist focusing on federal government issues Email Bio Follow Columnist February 26 at 5:32 PM Did Immigration and Customs Enforcement turn a blind eye to abusive conditions confronting thousands of immigrants jailed without being convicted of a crime? Apparently so, according to a report by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General.
More than 35,000 detainees were in 211 facilities at the end of fiscal 2017. Only five of the jails, with less than 10 percent of the population, were owned by ICE. The report refers to “detention facility contractors,” but many were local and county jails. Of 106 contracts the inspector general reviewed, just 28 included the “quality assurance surveillance plan” needed for recommending financial penalties.
