加西亚率8名议员突击访问阿德兰托ICE拘留中心 议员方称卫生与医疗状况堪忧
加利福尼亚州阿德兰托——众议院监督与政府改革委员会首席民主党成员、联邦众议员罗伯特·加西亚（Robert Garcia）10月16日率领一组国会议员，在未事先通知的情况下前往位于San Bernardino County阿德兰托市的阿德兰托移民与海关执法局（ICE）处理中心进行监督访问，检查这座全美最大的移民拘留设施之一的内部状况。众议院监督委员会民主党方面当天发布了加西亚的声明。
据当地媒体对访问后记者会的报道，此行共有8名国会议员参加；公开报道中点到的成员包括加西亚、代表加州第28选区的众议员赵美心（Judy Chu）、代表第35选区的众议员诺玛·托雷斯（Norma Torres）以及代表第45选区的众议员德里克·陈（Derek Tran）。德里克·陈办公室的声明称，议员们参观了设施，但未被允许与被拘留者直接交谈；此次访问旨在履行国会监督职责，此前已有关于该设施状况「不安全」「污秽」的报道。
议员们在参观后对设施的卫生与医疗状况提出关切。据报道，一名议员表示，设施多处地面有积水，工作人员在访问期间正在进行清洁。赵美心重点提到医疗区的情况，称据其了解，患有各种疾病的被拘留者被给予布洛芬后便被送回牢房；她还提到该设施已有5人死亡，其中包括有肾病史的「童年入境暂缓遣返」（DACA）受益人伊斯梅尔·阿亚拉·乌里韦（Ismail Ayala Uribe），赵美心称其出现严重医疗并发症、本应被送往医院。托雷斯则转述女性被拘留者的说法称，女子设施出现污水倒灌，送餐时管道曾冒出未经处理的污水；她同时质疑一些人是在工作场所被带走的，其犯罪记录有限或并无犯罪记录。上述说法均为议员方在访问后作出的表述。
加西亚在委员会声明中表示，国土安全部正以数亿美元买下这座设施，以绕开州与地方层面的监督，议员们将继续维护所有被拘留移民的权利与尊严。据GEO集团向美国证券交易委员会提交的文件，该集团已于10月2日以9.5亿美元将阿德兰托拘留设施群（包括阿德兰托西区、东区与沙漠景观附属设施，共2,644张床位）售予联邦政府，GEO集团继续依据其与ICE的合同运营该设施。本站10月5日曾报道这笔交易。
议员们表示，希望该设施提高透明度与问责力度，并计划今后继续进行突击访问。众议院监督委员会民主党方面的声明中未附ICE、GEO集团或国土安全部的回应。
Garcia Leads Eight-Member Unannounced Oversight Visit to Adelanto ICE Facility; Lawmakers Cite Sanitation and Medical Concerns
ADELANTO, California — Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, led a group of members of Congress on an unannounced oversight visit on October 16 to the Adelanto Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Processing Center in Adelanto, in San Bernardino County, to inspect conditions at one of the largest immigration detention facilities in the country. House Oversight Democrats released Garcia's statement the same day.
According to local coverage of the lawmakers' news conference after the visit, eight members of Congress took part. Members named in public reports included Garcia, Rep. Judy Chu of California's 28th District, Rep. Norma Torres of the 35th District and Rep. Derek Tran of the 45th District. A statement from Tran's office said the lawmakers toured the facility but were not allowed to speak directly with detainees, and that the visit was intended to provide congressional oversight and accountability following reports of unsafe and filthy conditions.
After the tour, the lawmakers raised concerns about sanitation and medical care at the facility. One lawmaker said water was present throughout parts of the facility and that staff had been cleaning the area during the visit, according to the reports. Chu focused on the medical facilities, saying detainees with various health conditions were reportedly given ibuprofen and sent back to their cells. She also cited five deaths at the facility, including that of Ismail Ayala Uribe, a DACA recipient detained despite a history of kidney disease; Chu said he had been experiencing serious medical complications and should have been taken to a hospital. Torres described concerns raised by women detained at the center, saying detainees reported sewage backups in the women's facilities, including raw sewage coming from pipes while meals were being served. She also questioned the detention of people who, she said, had been taken from their jobs despite limited or no criminal histories. The accounts above are the lawmakers' statements made after the visit.
In the committee statement, Garcia said the Department of Homeland Security is buying the facility for hundreds of millions of dollars to escape state and local oversight, and that the members will continue fighting to defend the rights and protect the dignity of everyone in immigration detention. According to GEO Group's filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the company sold the Adelanto complex — the Adelanto West and East facilities and the Desert View Annex, totaling 2,644 beds — to the federal government for $950 million in a sale that closed on October 2, and GEO continues to operate the facilities under its existing contract with ICE. GSM reported the sale on October 5.
The lawmakers said they want greater transparency and accountability at the facility, which is now federal property, and that they plan to conduct additional unannounced visits in the future. The House Oversight Democrats statement did not include a response from ICE, GEO Group or the Department of Homeland Security.
