Nearly 130 staff at Arizona ICE facility tested positive for COVID-19

One of the employees told NBC News in July:"Sometimes we don't have enough staff to let out a pod," referring to cellblocks of about 50 people."They stay on lockdown because we don't have enough staff to open that pod."

Yarjelis also said:"For hygiene, we get three little containers of shampoo, about 1.5 ounces each per week. We do not get soap." "These are baseless allegations, and the claims simply do not reflect the affirmative, proactive measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 our facility has been taking for months. We care deeply for our hard-working, dedicated employees and the detainees in our care, and we're committed to their safety. We work hard to ensure that they have the necessary tools to feel safe doing their jobs every day.

"Part of our COVID-19 comprehensive planning includes contingencies to employ staff from other facilities from around the country with lower COVID-19 impacts to support facilities that may have higher COVID-19 impacts," a spokesperson said in a statement.

Maybe they should have worn masks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh jeez working for Ice sounds dangerous. Maybe all of them should quit for their own health.

But schools are safe !!!!

This ok RepAndyBiggsAZ

'There is fear in our staff. How can you work in a place where you fear for your life or fear for your family?' one of the workers asked . . .' We all know what happens when LEOs are afraid for their lives. I think a lot of detainees are about to justifiably shot. Exaggerating.

What a shame

See they could have been with their families in their own countries under their own roofs eating their own food and maybe not have it but they choose to break into our country.

Dead 😑

You just gotta love how the Left media spins stories to make em fit their narratives. The ignorant part is, that their viewers buy into this dumb shi*! Lol...

Do you know how nasty these places be? Them bums jus sealed in the virus. The is becoming a bad zombie movie

Pence says, 'Die with it.'

Good news for a change. 🙏🏽

How many died?

Pretty soon the commie media will say 700 million Americans have tested positive. Even though there are only 360.

What about the detainees?

Are they using mask?

Is it intentional? At this point, that's pure criminal negligence...and how many children are locked in cages after being taken from their families as per Trump's family separation policy?

If you don't take the steps to take care of covid19, it will take care of you

MalcolmNance This is an interesting dilemma. We have released adjudicated criminals from prisons because of the risk of COVID19. The people in these detention centers are mostly charged with a misdemeanor violation and have not been adjudicated. COVID19 asylumrights

MalcolmNance This is a private prison, so watch this be new news to ICE'd brass

DNCpeep Lock them up in cages so they don’t spread it

Now we know why AZ has seen a surge in cases. If ICE agents have it that means the people that they deal with who cross the border must have it.

Morning_Joe Probably a good thing as once they get well, will be a lot of protected folks.

Morning_Joe For crying out loud, shut it down!

MalcolmNance Who’s running that asylum? Think about how devious this is because they are watching over people of color who are hardest hit in this pandemic. Are they just sacrificing these workers? I’m trying to make sense out of the indefensible😡

Sounds dangerous we better send all those illegals back for their own safety

MalcolmNance That’s unfortunate.

Great!!! Just great!!! Morons!!!!

...and all will be just fine. Next

So

What about the poor families there?

Abolish ICE

🙂

And they will be just fine

If we had a wall social distancing country edition would be easier

I don't care about them. How are the children they're jailing?

Nearly 240 experts urge WHO, CDC to acknowledge airborne transmission of COVID-19Microdroplets of infectious coronavirus could be airborne for hours and current social distancing practices may not be enough to stop infection and spread, experts argue. But your cloth masks should stop it. Right? Then all the protesters are toast. Real physicians already knew this... respiratory diseases spread via airborne virus...seriously. It is a well known mode of infection. This is what happens when WHO’s head is a non M.D. Why the hell do you think N95 masks/eye shield are only thing that works though not 100%
