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, report use-of-force incidents, and maintain medical records, according to a 2025 DHS Office of Inspector General report. The report detailed incidents including a chokehold and a pen used to puncture a detainee's skin, with incomplete video documentation and inadequate follow-up training or disciplinary actions for staff.
