A federal judge in California had ordered the government to take a man showing signs of prostate cancer to a specialist for diagnosis and treatment. ICE lawyers told the judge that officials missed the appointment due to an "internal scheduling error," and CoreCivic, which operates the facility, declined to comment on the litigation. A court-appointed monitor has since found that the California City facility, the state's largest immigration detention center, failed to comply with the judge's orders to provide adequate healthcare to detainees.
