"Attorney General Rob Bonta said the facility had "opened prematurely and was not prepared to handle the needs of the incoming population." Ryan Gustin, a spokesperson for CoreCivic, previously told Calmatters that the site has robust medical and mental health care on site, including around-the-clock access to those services. He said those services adhere to "standards set forth by our government partners.""
"California prosecutors are expressing alarm at the Trump administration's response to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an immigration agent, pointing to statements that the agent has absolute immunity from prosecution and to the decision to exclude Minnesota investigators from the inquiry into the incident. In interviews with KQED, state and local prosecutors vowed to investigate and, if necessary, prosecute federal agents who act illegally in California. But they acknowledged that those probes would be difficult to undertake without federal cooperation."
The California Attorney General's office warned of dangerous conditions and inadequate medical care at the California City facility after inspection, noting the site opened prematurely and was unprepared for incoming detainees. CoreCivic said the site provides robust medical and mental health care with around-the-clock access and adheres to government standards. California prosecutors criticized the federal response to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE agent, challenged assertions of absolute immunity, and vowed to investigate and potentially prosecute illegal acts by federal agents in California while noting probes would be difficult without federal cooperation.
