Tuberculosis case confirmed at Aurora ICE facility; health officials denied access for investigation

Adams County health officials confirmed one case of active tuberculosis at the Aurora ICE detention facility run by the GEO Group in June 2026. Health officials said the facility failed to provide legally required access to medical records, housing information, and other documents needed to complete the public health investigation and determine if additional cases existed. ICE later stated the person had been treated and removed from the country. The Guardian reported that at least a dozen people inside the facility had contracted tuberculosis and dozens more had been placed in quarantine, though health officials said they had not yet verified those additional reports.
