A detention center was criticized for its treatment of detainees. The facility, which is now closed, had been promoted as a model by some officials. However, it faced intense criticism from advocacy groups due to alleged poor conditions.
The internal watchdog of the Department of Homeland Security conducted an inspection and issued a report. This report found that detainees were held in tight spaces, with some people held in small areas for short periods. Further details about the findings are available, including the full report from the watchdog.
The facility was shuttered in June, after facing criticism and scrutiny.
