That's more than 20 percent of the facility's current population, making it the worst outbreak at any ICE detention center.Saying it had "been concerned for some time with the lack of candor exhibited by the government," the US District Court for the Central District of California issued an Oct. 15 order requiring ICE to reduce the Adelanto population by 50 people a day, starting next week, until it is reduced from 772 detainees to 475.In its order, the court said it is rare that a judge will be "presented with direct evidence of dishonesty." In this case, however, "the government provided the court with a blaring example" of it.<div type="image" title="Screenshot_2020 10 15 ord dct_ 686_adelanto_population_reduction_order pdf" height="340" width="1200" msid="78692459" hostid="261"></div>The particular instance of "dishonesty" involved a relatively technical matter: a trial attorney for the Office of Immigration Litigation falsely asserting that the court had limited a particular submission to four pages. But that was "the straw that broke the court's back," the ruling states, causing the judge to reassess "facts and arguments that it previously perceived to be merely inaccurate or ambiguous." Judge Terry Hatter, an 87-year-old appointee of former President Jimmy Carter, was now concerned that the government had, actually, been "dishonest or, at best, disingenuous" in a case that "involves human lives whose reasonable safety is entitled to be enforced and protected by the court pursuant to the United States Constitution."The government had also failed to comply with an order to provide daily updates on the number of immigrants detained and infected at the Adelanto facility in San Bernardino County.The US <keyword id="67869" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Department-of-Justice">Department of Justice</keyword> did not immediately respond to a request for comment.In a statement, Jessica Bansal, an attorney with the <keyword id="853040" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="ACLU">ACLU</keyword> of Southern California, said Thursday's order spoke to the US government's utter failure to protect those in its custody."Eight months into the pandemic, over 700 people remain imprisoned for civil immigration violations in an over-crowded jail where basic protective measures are impossible and dozens fall ill with COVID-19 each day," Bansal said.Despite the current outbreak, government attorneys had fought to keep as many as 1,052 immigrants at the facility, arguing that detainees only needed to maintain 39 inches of social distancing or half of the six feet currently recommended by the US Centers for Disease Control. Attorneys, in part, cited guidance from the World Health Organization.Judge Hatter responded by noting that the Trump administration has withdrawn from WHO, arguing it is "not a credible organization.""The government's reliance on the WHO, therefore, is disingenuous," Hatter wrote.Have a <keyword id="6355005" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="news">news</keyword> tip?

Alex Padilla, chair of the Senate subcommittee on immigration, and Rep. Zoe Lofgren, his counterpart in the House - are concerned about more than just costs. The letter describes a pattern of abuse. At Otay Mesa, located near the US-Mexico border and run by the for-profit prison company CoreCivic, detainees have complained of overcrowding and filthy conditions. "Detainees have also reported retaliation after reporting sexual assault," the letter states.As detailed in <a href="https://www.aclusandiego.org/sites/default/files/field_documents/2021_04_21_final_corecivics_decades_of_abuse_issue_brief.pdf">a report</a> from a local chapter of the ACLU, the Otay Mesa authorities admitted "there was more than one confirmed assault every month in 2019." A lawsuit filed by women detained there alleges some detainees were put in isolation after reporting such assaults.At the Adelanto facility, an hour inland from Los Angeles and run by the for-profit GEO Group, personnel have also been accused of using pepper spray "on detainees who were peacefully protesting COVID-19-related lockdown conditions" that had been deemed by one federal court "inconsistent with contemporary standards of human decency."CoreCivic, in a statement provided to Insider, called the letter "misguided" and based on "false information spread by politically motivated special interests." It did not specify what it was claiming to be incorrect.Alexandra Wilkes, a spokesperson for the Day 1 Alliance, a trade association for private prison contractors, including The GEO Group, likewise dismissed the letter as being part of "the push to 'Abolish ICE."The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment.Have a news tip?

The outlet says the documents highlight a pattern of the agency skirting responsibility for immigrants in poor health housed in government facilities as well as contracted facilities.Johana Medina Leon, a transgender immigrant and nurse technician from El Salvador, was initially held in the <a href="https://www.ice.gov/detain/detention-facilities/otero-county-processing-center">Otero County Processing Center</a> in New Mexico and her health plummeted a month after being detained, according to the LA Times report.Medina Leon had marked her requests for help as "urgent," per the LA Times.It took close to six weeks for Medina Leon to get access to medical care to treat what was later revealed as sepsis in an autopsy. When Leon finally had access to a doctor, she was discharged from the facility in less than six hours, emails showed.According to the LA Times, on May 28, 2019, ICE's field medical coordinator gave the go-ahead to release the sick inmate. "If this detainee were to become further seriously ill there is a potential for a poor outcome," the official said in the email obtained by the LA Times. A second official chimed in, per the report, that her "vitals do not look good."According to the report, Medina Leon was presented with her parole paperwork at the El Paso hospital that she was rushed to, and in the internal investigation into her death, an <keyword id="13198529" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="ice-agent" source="Orion">ICE agent</keyword> noted that he had never released a detainee at a hospital.By that evening, she was officially no longer in ICE custody, according to the emails. On June 1, Medina Leon died at the hospital. Management and Training Corporation, the private prison group which operates the Otero facility, told Insider in an email that "MTC follows federal HIPPA patient privacy laws and does not comment on specific medical cases.""We take the medical care of detainees very seriously," the company added. "We adhere to ICE Performance-Based National Detention Standards (PBNDS) including ensuring detainees have access to appropriate and necessary medical, dental, and mental health care, including emergency services. We further follow PBNDS standards for the prevention, screening, and treatment of infectious diseases."According to a wrongful death lawsuit <a href="https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/aclu-files-foia-lawsuit-against-ice">filed by the ACLU</a> on behalf of Medina Leon and three other detainees, Medina Leon's rushed release was not the first time the agency rushed to release critically ill detainees so as to not inflate their deaths in detention figures.At the time of Medina Leon's death, ICE <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/immigration/2019/06/03/transgender-woman-from-el-salvador-dies-in-texas-hospital-after-more-than-a-month-in-ice-custody/">said</a> they took detainee health seriously and that her death was "another unfortunate example of an alien who enters the United States with an untreated, un-screened medical condition."ICE did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. ICE told the LA Times that the agency "takes very seriously the health, safety, and welfare of those in our care, including those who come into ICE custody with prior medical conditions or who have never before received appropriate medical evaluation or care."In 2019, the year Leon died outside of ICE care, the agency reported nine deaths.According to <a href="https://www.ice.gov/detain/detainee-death-reporting">the agency's public data</a>, ICE reported 18 deaths in detention in 2020, and five the following year. In 2022, the agency claims that there have been no deaths in their facilities while factoring in the thousands of detainees under their watch and with <a href="https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/immigration-detention-and-covid-19">consistent COVID-19 outbreaks</a> in facilities.The ACLU's lawsuit is seeking records about detainees in poor health who the ACLU believes may have had rushed releases, and is interrogating why the agency is "choosing to release people from custody who are on their deathbeds while they're hospitalized," ACLU attorney Eunice Cho told LA Times.The ACLU did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.The class-action suit claimed that Martin Vargas Arellano, a 55-year-old booked in Adelanto, California, in 2020, alerted officials about his "diabetes, hypertension, gout, and hepatitis C," asking for a release because he was immunocompromised and worried about COVID-19.According to the lawsuit, he contracted COVID-19 in March 2021 and had a stroke at the detention facility. He was then transferred to a local hospital, still in ICE custody. Three days before he died in the hospital, ICE served him his release papers. Arellano was also not counted in ICE's deaths in detention for the year and the agency did not notify his family or attorney of his death, according to LA Times. His family and attorney learned of his death after reaching out to the coroner's office and filing a missing person's report.

Damian Dovarganes/APAdelanto, California.Adelanto, California, is what's known as a "drive-through town." It's a dusty plot of desert surrounded by Joshua trees and dilapidated factories. Few outsiders stay long.Now, the sleepy city in San Bernardino County wants to establish itself as a hotbed for large-scale cultivation and innovation in weed.There are 360 acres zoned for growing medical marijuana in Adelanto (recreational marijuna is newly legal and California has yet to give licenses for growing it). It's among the first struggling desert cities to turn to weed as a cure for its economic woes, <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-adelanto-marijuana-20170522-story.html">the Los Angeles Times reports</a>.Aging factories and warehouses are being transformed into cultivation warehouses, cannabis-oil extraction facilities, and a host of other projects that support California's booming medical marijuana market. Frontier Enterprises, a major home developer in Southern California, <a href="http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/20170206/for-frontier-enterprises-muted-entry-into-medical-marijuana-in-adelanto">broke ground in February</a> on a 30-acre industrial park that will house 21 marijuana cultivators. It's big enough to fit nine Costo stores and may someday supply California's massive demand.Californians spent $1.8 billion on medical pot in 2016 - about one-third of the legal market in North America last year, according to <a href="https://www.arcviewmarketresearch.com/">Arcview Market Research</a>. The state's recreational market is expected to roll out in summer 2018, which could send industry revenue sky-high.REUTERS/Lucy NicholsonAdelanto Mayor Richard Kerr told LA Weekly he expects revenue generated from taxes on marijuana cultivation to inject millions into the city coffers.California will not start issuing licenses for recreational marijuana cultivation until early next year, but Adelanto wants to get a leg up on the competition - namely, other communities in the Salinas Valley that have experience in agriculture and the right climate for marijuana farming. The city <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-adelanto-marijuana-20170522-story.html">has already approved ordinances</a> allowing medical marijuana cultivation at an industrial scale.Investors with backgrounds in real estate development and law are migrating to the town in the hopes of striking it rich in legal weed.Adelanto has struggled to recover since a major employer, the George Air Force Base, closed in 1992.

Those funds may pay for new housing, shops, and a concrete plant.It remains to be seen if Adelanto can make itself the Silicon Valley of medical marijuana, in spite of competition from neighors including Cathedral City and Desert Hot Springs, which <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-marijuana-cultivation-20160510-story.html">have also attracted</a> marijuana cultivators and developers in recent months.<a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-adelanto-marijuana-20170522-story.html">Some residents of Adelanto worry</a> that the new "green rush" will make the city too expensive for them to live in, as marijuana industry development drives up real estate prices.Former mayor Cari Thomas <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-adelanto-marijuana-20170522-story.html">told the LA Times</a> that marijuana cultivation as a revenue stream for the city is "just not a way I would have chosen.
