California's U.S. senators expressed grave concerns about conditions at the state's newest and largest immigration jail, and said they will not support an upcoming bill to further increase funding for immigration enforcement, after a visit Tuesday. "The most frequent feedback we got was the inadequacy of the medical care they are receiving," he added. "That's frightening." The immigration detention facility, owned and operated by the private, for-profit prison company CoreCivic, currently holds about 1400 people, the senators said, but it has a capacity for 2,560 detainees.

His death also brought the total to at least 22 between October 2024 and September 30, 2025, representing the highest number in 20 years. More than half were Latino, and the total includes the two migrants killed by a sniper at an ICE office in Dallas last month. The record for deaths in ICE custody was set in 2004, a year after the immigration agency's creation. There were 32 reported deaths that year.
