Rep. Judy Chu's recent visit to the Adelanto immigrant detention center reflects a troubling lack of improvement since her first visit in 2014. As the number of detained immigrants rises, oversight becomes essential, yet new ICE rules threaten to further limit lawmakers' access to these facilities. This situation exacerbates the difficulties families and lawyers face in tracking the status of detainees, many housed in private detention centers like Adelanto, which generate substantial profits regardless of occupancy. The urgency for robust oversight continues to grow as legal battles over access unfold.
