Hazardous conditions in ICE centers since the start of the pandemic

When the global Coronavirus pandemic literally spread to almost every corner of the planet, societies around the world had to act quickly in light of the health crisis, which suddenly reached most, if not all, countries.

Since then, the world has been facing the most devastating health emergency in decades, affecting all sorts of sectors, including the economy, international transit, education and immigration.

It is quite evident that there were some communities more affected than others when it comes to the massive Coronavirus outbreak and certain environments worsened the situation and increased the health risk. To give a specific example, in the US, immigration detention centers became hotbeds of the virus in a matter of weeks.

It is worth clarifying that these centers are under the supervision of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and their primary purpose is to house undocumented immigrants while their deportation proceedings are completed or while they appeal their cases, depending on certain specific circumstances.

During Donald Trump’s term, who led the White House from 2017 to early 2021, ICE had the power to detain a large number of undocumented immigrants on a daily basis, both in border territory and within the US, so immigration detention centers were already overcrowded when the global COVID-19 pandemic hit North America.

Immigration detention centers might go through another massive outbreak

Contagion numbers within immigration detention centers increased exponentially during the first half of 2020 and immigrants detained there consistently reported poor and precarious conditions inside these facilities, a factor that undoubtedly contributed to the massive outbreak of Coronavirus.

The situation was relatively under control until recently, when the new variant (Delta) arrived in the US and is again unleashing a massive uncontrollable outbreak. Adding to that, because the Biden administration has already relaxed certain border restrictions and a surge of illegal border crossings is taking place, there is a strong possibility that immigration detention centers will again become hotbeds of the virus.
