Complaints about immigrant detention facilities persist, citing issues such as poor water quality and inadequate medical care. Disability rights groups and a federal judge have also raised concerns. Despite these problems, internal assessments have given facilities favorable reviews.

An analysis found that many facilities received high ratings under a certain administration. Details about the analysis and its findings are available from the Project on Government Oversight.

Further information on the issue can be found through CalMatters newsletters, which originally published the story.
