An investigation into California's newest ICE detention facility has confirmed advocates' worst fears: what immigrants are experiencing there is a form of torture. People detained at this facility have described life there as "hell on earth." This detention center has consistently violated detainees' human rights: people have not been given their medication regularly, resulting in some detainees becoming unconscious. Let's be clear: what these detainees have described is a form of torture. These are human rights violations, and they have got to end immediately.
CoreCivic is a private prison corporation that is responsible for operating this facility. That means that this company — which literally makes money off of the suffering of immigrants in detention — is responsible for all of the problems that people detained there are experiencing. The U.S. government should end all of their contracts with CoreCivic moving forward, given that this company can obviously not responsibly operate a detention center without violating detainees basic human rights. This California City detention center should also be permanently shut down. If you agree, sign the petition now to urge the Department of Homeland Security to do something about it!
