Inspection shows sanitation, use-of-force transparency lacking at La. ICE detention center

A Louisiana ICE detention center failed to maintain sanitary conditions, properly store food, notify use-of-force incidents, and maintain medical records, according to a 2025 DHS Office of Inspector General report. The report highlighted incidents like a chokehold and a pen puncturing a detainee's skin, with incomplete video documentation and no clear process for staff training or disciplinary actions.
