ICE detention centers are slipping through the cracks—15 major facilities haven’t been inspected in over a year, with 5 having no inspection records at all. After slashing inspection frequency from twice to once every two years, nearly 90% of past checks found serious issues like inadequate healthcare and food storage. Despite DHS’s claim of smart resource allocation, experts warn reduced oversight risks worsening conditions, especially as the number of facilities holding detainees has nearly doubled.

With basic human safety on the line, critics say less oversight equals more danger.
