Weeks after health officials demanded access to investigate TB case, they haven't gotten into the ICE facility
Colorado health officials have not gained access to the Aurora ICE Processing Center operated by GEO Group to investigate a tuberculosis case, despite a three-week-old demand. ICE claims no active TB cases exist at the facility and asserts compliance with health guidelines, while activists and local leaders criticize the lack of transparency and consider legal action.
