California's largest ICE detention center fails to provide adequate medical care

Jul 28, 2026 · California City, CA

A court-appointed monitor found that California City detention center, the largest ICE facility in California, failed to comply with a federal judge's orders to provide adequate healthcare across all eight required medical standards. The facility had significant gaps in emergency care, medication access, health screenings, and disability accommodations. The findings come from the first court-ordered investigation of full medical care scope at any ICE facility in the U.S., following a class-action lawsuit alleging life-threatening healthcare problems.
