In a public statement, ICE claims that it does not have to report positive COVID tests for private prison company employes who run immigration detention centers. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/immigration/article241791511.html

3/At last count, 80% of immigration detention beds were located in detention centers run by private prison companies. But if ICE is reporting only on COVID numbers only in publicly-run beds, what are the real numbers?

4/This is all while ICE is claiming in court that there is no ascertainable risk to detainees from COVID by stating that there are no reported, confirmed tests in detention facilities..

5/ This also comes on the heels of the government's admission in court that they have no COVID testing in some detention facilities AT ALL.

6/ ICE's lack of transparency regarding COVID-19 testing in detention centers is not a minor or forgivable omission. It is the difference between life and death for thousands of detainees.
