Five ICE workers at detention facilities have also tested positive for COVID-19.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has seen at least four confirmed cases of coronavirus among immigration detainees, as it continues to face growing protests from those who fear they could be exposed to COVID-19 while in detention.
According to MILPA, detainees were concerned that detention workers would bring the virus into the facility and potentially put detainees at risk. The protesters were also concerned that they would"not receive the necessary medical care to combat the virus." While the agency had initially confirmed just one case of COVID-19 among detainees in Bergen County Jail in Hackensack, New Jersey, this week, it updated its website to say that two detainees had now tested positive for the virus.
According to ICE's website, so far, there have been two cases of coronavirus among personnel at the Aurora Contract Detention Facility in Aurora, Colorado, one case at the Elizabeth Contract Detention Facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey, one case at the Houston Contract Detention Facility in Houston Texas and another at the Hudson County Jail in Kearny, New Jersey.
