DHS inspector general calls for detainees to be moved from 'unsanitary' ICE facility

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : In response to the staffing shortages, ICE said since the inspection, Torrance has increased the number of staff by 29 percent to a current staffing level of 83 percent, and is also using overtime to ensure coverage of shifts, as appropriate.
46% : In a "contract discrepancy report" sent to Torrance in March, ICE said that "CoreCivic has not been able to demonstrate the ability to provide a safe environment for staff and noncitizens, provide the necessary security for proper facility security and control measures, and care necessary to ensure proper facility maintenance, overall cleanliness, and personal hygiene needs described" in national detention standards, the inspector general said.
44% : The inspector general, however, said ICE didn't provide documentation to back up its claims, noting that the agency itself had previously complained that the company that runs the facility, CoreCivic, wasn't living it up to the terms of the contract because of understaffing.
38% :ICE disagreed with the inspector general's findings and accused the inspectors of being "unprofessional," in a response included in the management alert.
