Adams County says ICE resistance has slowed tuberculosis investigation at immigration detention center

This article from The Denver Post investigates an active case of tuberculosis at the Aurora immigration detention center. Adams County health officials confirmed the case, but they said facility officials haven’t complied with a public health order requiring access and interviews of affected detainees.

Shira Hereld, an attorney for the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network who works with detainees, said they were aware of two people who were placed in “precautionary” quarantine. Hereld said one sick patient was also moved from the facility, though it was unclear if that person had tuberculosis.
