A recent report by California's Department of Justice evaluated all active immigration detention facilities in the state, revealing persistent issues such as the use of solitary confinement and excessive force, especially against detainees with mental health conditions. This report is significant amid federal steps to eliminate oversight and restrict transparency in immigration enforcement operations. Concerns have escalated following the Department of Homeland Security's decision to remove civil rights documentation from public access, indicating an alarming trend towards reduced accountability in how immigration policies are implemented and enforced.
The report confirms that conditions in California's immigration detention facilities remain troubling, with significant use of solitary confinement and disproportionate force against mentally ill detainees, raising concerns about oversight.
Amid growing scrutiny, the federal Department of Homeland Security has removed access to hundreds of civil rights records, signaling a potential decline in transparency and accountability in immigration practices.
