The study also found that the detainees were more likely to be infected with COVID-19 if they were housed in a facility with a high number of cases. The study also found that the detainees were more likely to die from COVID-19 if they were older or had underlying health conditions.
H3: The Lack of Adequate Medical Care for Immigration Detainees
Immigration detainees are not receiving adequate medical care for COVID-19. A report by the Human Rights Watch found that immigration detainees are being denied access to testing, treatment, and isolation.
The report also found that immigration detainees are being held in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. These conditions make it difficult to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
