CALIFORNIA CITY, Calif. (KERO) — A federal judge is ordering changes at the California City ICE detention facility after finding conditions may be putting detainees at risk.
The ruling requires federal officials to improve medical care, including faster screenings, better access to medication, and more responsive emergency services. It also mandates greater access to attorneys, including in-person visits and confidential phone calls for those being held.
The order comes as part of a class-action lawsuit and includes the appointment of an independent monitor to oversee conditions at the facility over the next 120 days.
