There was a legal suit filed stating that the immigrants were poorly treated at the detention centers with improper healthcare facilities.

Psychiatrist and psychiatric nurses will be provided to the privatized correctional health care unit at San Diego. These arrangements will be made by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement. American Civil Liberties Union has provided a copy of the settlement which lays the condition that the serious health issues of the immigrants will be taken care of.

Elizabeth Alexander, the ACLU National Prison Project and plaintiffs’ attorney, former Director, said that the facility would prevent any sufferings but would not be luxurious health care facility.

In 2007, June the ACLU was piled with legal proceedings for not providing the detainees timely medical attention. The situation was bad when any sort of treatment was out rightly denied. The consequences were fatal in many cases. The lawsuit mentioned the cases of 11 detainees who were badly treated while in the federal custody.

Immigration officials have expressed their plans of revamping the detention centres in the country, though San Diego is the only one undergoing changes at the moment.

The ICE spoke of its commitment to provide the best possible health care services and also seek constant improvisations in the health care services.
