The Florence Project reports increases in medical neglect of ICE detainees in Arizona facilities, with multiple cases of individuals with serious chronic illnesses and conditions receiving inadequate care. Documented cases include individuals with prostate enlargement, spinal stenosis, broken ankles, tuberculosis, cirrhosis, and blindness who were denied specialist appointments, necessary surgeries, and adequate pain management. ICE policies authorize only emergency care via emergency rooms, denying preventive and specialist treatment. U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar visited Camp East Montana ICE detention center on January 28, 2026, and expressed concerns about worsening conditions for detainees, including limited legal access, inadequate hygiene, and three deaths since December. She reported that over 325 women, many legally in the U.S., were being held in poor conditions with restricted communication with lawyers and lack of fresh clothing.
