ICE lowers standards for immigration detention centers: what has changed

The new standards expand the list of reasons why detainees can be placed in solitary confinement and remove restrictions prohibiting police officers from using methods of restraint. ICE now allows handcuffs to minors “as needed”, writes Rolling Stone.

In addition, the Immigration and Customs Service (ICE) has eliminated the requirement that there should be outdoor recreation areas in the new premises. Revised protocols indicating how quickly guards should notify authorities of serious injuries, illnesses, or deaths among prisoners. Instead of requiring the guards to report this immediately, the new standards state that this should be done "as soon as possible."

Health assessments of prisoners who American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) calls the “life saving critical mechanism” will no longer meet national corrective standards. This is especially worrisome as many immigrants end up in detention centers with health problems, and some die during detention from infectious diseases such as the flu.

The changes were made public, but the announcement was made during the holiday season, when far fewer people read the news. In a document explaining the changes, ICE representatives said the standards were “updated to better reflect the strong relationship that ICE has with its law enforcement partners. Including where employees of places of detention successfully manage their settlers and are ready to assist ICE in accommodating detained immigrants. ”

Weaker standards will help local prisons go through an ICE inspection, which will allow them to continue to contract with the agency and receive funds from it. Revised standards, as indicated in the ACLU, will also lower guarantees that will allow nonprofits to gain access to approximately 140 immigrant detention centers throughout the United States.

“The way the new national detention standards are structured eliminates any incentive to truly provide the minimum care and control needed for detainees. The revised ICE standards for these places of detention have weakened the protection of detained immigrants in all areas, ”says Younis Cho, a lawyer at the American Civil Liberties Union's National Prison Project.
