Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The critically short staffing plans are directly responsible for the breakdown in the overall operational capabilities of the TCDF," ICE wrote in its own March 1 review.
48% : "During our inspection, we found such egregious conditions in the facility that we are issuing this management alert to notify ICE.
45% : We have determined that ICE must take immediate steps to address the critical facility staffing shortages and unsanitary living conditions that have led to health and safety risks for detainees at Torrance," the OIG wrote in its report.
40% :ICE has not committed to removing detainees from the facility and instead largely pushed back on the report, including the inspector's remark that detainees should not be housed there and claiming inspectors did not wait long enough for the hot water to arrive - both of which were refuted by OIG.
37% :DHS's Office of Inspector General on Friday directed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to remove detainees from the Torrance County Detention Facility in Estancia, N.M., citing "safety risks and unsanitary living conditions" for the 176 people detained there at the time of the inspection.
