NADLER: "Today the outbreak of COVID-19 and its extensive spread through the ICE detention system have shown the tragic cost of ICE's mismanagement and failure to improve conditions. On April 7th, when subcommittee chair Lofgren and I wrote our letter urging ICE to release individuals who pose no threat to public safety or national security, particularly those who are at heightened risk of death or serious illness from COVID-19. There were 13 individuals at that time, April 7th, who had tested positive for the virus at eight different facilities. Today, after ICE largely ignored our request, one month later, there are at least 881 individuals who have tested positive in dozens of ICE facilities across the country. And because ICE lacks the capacity to test all detainees, it is likely that the number of confirmed cases is actually much higher.”
