Detained migrants say they were forced to clean COVID-infected ICE facility.
"This is a life or death situation," said a translation of the message from 70 migrants at the La Palma ICE facility in Arizona, obtained by NBC News.
The detainees also described unsanitary conditions, like lockdowns that lasted for three days with no access to showers. The migrants say they were given two "disposable masks of very poor quality in the month of April" and received "2 cloth masks" in May. They also say they did not receive basic hygiene supplies, like toilet paper, on weekends.
CoreCivic said the lockdowns detainees describe are being confused with measures put in place to stop the spread of infection. The company disputed the claims that detainees have gone three days without access to showers or do not receive toilet paper on weekends. The spokesman also said detainees can replace their face masks at any time upon request.
The migrants say that after the kitchen closed due to COVID concerns in mid-May, they were served sandwich boxes that included two slices of "rotted" ham with bread.
CoreCivic said it has "received no complaints or notifications that there has been any issue with the freshness of the food being served." CoreCivic said detainees are provided three meals a day, two of which include a hot entrée.
