"Moldy towels, medical neglect, insufficient food and unclean drinking water are what people detained inside the Adelanto ICE Processing Center are allegedly subjected to, according to a class-action lawsuit filed against federal officials and agencies on Monday. The lawsuit claims the government is denying people detained in Adelanto with basic human needs such as food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and reasonable safety and that this amounts to punishment and violates their constitutional right to due process of law."
"Last year, two people died after being detained at the Adelanto immigration detention center. The deaths of Ismael Ayala-Uribe and Gabriel Garcia-Aviles remain under investigation. Ayala-Uribe's family say he was denied proper medical care when in ICE's custody. At the beginning of 2025, only a handful of people were detained inside the Adelanto immigration detention center, but that population has surged to almost 2,000 people a year later."
Moldy towels, medical neglect, insufficient food, and unclean drinking water are reported at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center. The conditions reportedly deny detained people basic needs including food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and reasonable safety, amounting to punishment and violating due process rights. Two deaths occurred after detention, with ongoing investigations and family claims of denied medical care. Detained population surged from a handful in early 2025 to nearly 2,000 a year later, straining a facility described as understaffed and lacking experienced personnel. Oversight found abuse and neglect of people with disabilities, including failure to provide regular diabetes medication. The legal action seeks reforms: improved medical standards, adequate nutrition and sanitary conditions, and limits on solitary confinement.
