According to the attorney general, conditions inside many of the facilities are declining by most measures.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This has been driven in large part by the Trump administration&#8217;s aggressive and inhumane mass deportation campaign, including its refusal to release detainees on bond,&#8221; Bonta said.<\/p>\n<p>The report notes that while experiences varied across facilities, investigators identified widespread issues, including inadequate medical care, delays in treatment, overcrowding and excessive use of force.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said the evaluation relied on ICE&#8217;s own detention standards.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The metrics that we used to evaluate these centers are ICE&#8217;s own self-imposed detention standards and they continue to fail to meet their own standards,&#8221; Bonta said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/orangecountymoversreport.com\/?p=321\">Hungry for ribs, brisket, and desserts?
