California's Attorney General released findings from inspections of seven ICE detention facilities in the state, documenting degrading strip searches, guards abusing authority, poor food conditions, overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and inadequate medical care. Six migrants died in these facilities between September 2025 and March 2026, and detainee populations increased 162% compared to 2023.
