Almost a hundred people detained at the privately-owned Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Aurora have tested positive for COVID-19.
As of last week, the outbreak included 96 detainees and one employee at the facility owned by the Geo Group, according to a report by Congressman Jason Crow's office. People in detention centers like the one in Aurora have faced an extremely high risk of infection during the pandemic.
"Conditions at Geo and the manner we treat individuals detained there not only reflect our community values but impact our public health," Crow said in a statement. "Infectious disease outbreaks affect our community as a whole and we will continue to demand transparency and accountability."
