I joined human & migrant rights organizations to deliver 1000 free masks for detainees in Otay Mesa. It is incredibly disappointing that these essential items were not accepted by the facility. In a time where public safety is critical we would expect them to make this a priority pic.twitter.com/zg0FD5qg44

Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman with the CoreCivic business that runs the facility, told the Los Angeles Times that “all detainees” have “appropriate personal protective equipment” at this time. “We are also currently reviewing the appropriate procedures to ensure any donated equipment provides the appropriate level of protection and adds to the safety, health and well-being of those in ICE custody,” Mack said.

Both detainees and advocates speaking on their behalf told the newspaper that when they complained of a lack of masks, they were offered masks with contracts to sign, and many refused. Detainees were later provided surgical masks that they were left to wear for weeks, they said. “New masks have been handed out,” CoreCivic spokeswoman Amanda Gilchrist told the Times.

Detainees also said they haven’t been given enough soap or space to maintain the recommended 6 feet of space to socially distance. Mindy Pressman, of Otay Mesa Detention Resistance, pointed out that if authorities were properly protecting detainees, the facility wouldn’t have so many COVID-19 cases. “This is ICE and CoreCivic’s responsibility, and they are failing,” she told the Los Angeles Times.
