Inadequate Medical Care at Colorado Immigration Detention Continues

One year ago, the American Immigration Council and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) filed a complaint challenging inadequate medical and mental health care in an immigration detention center in Aurora, Colorado. 

A year later, the Council and AILA supplemented that complaint, bringing to the government's attention additional examples of in adequate medical care in the Aurora immigration detention facility, and requesting immediate action. 

As the government continues to drastically expand immigration detention, many continue to suffer – and perish – behind bars due to woefully inadequate medical and mental health care.
