Report Description:
We conducted an unannounced inspection of Northwest ICE Processing Center (Northwest) to assess ICE field offices’ management of these facilities and compliance with applicable standards. We also conducted a limited review of the facility’s COVID-19 requirements. We found that the facility complied with standards for intake and classification; facility conditions, including housing and hygiene; detainee access to law library and legal services; recreation; segregation; use of force; and providing timely responses to detainee requests. Northwest also complied with COVID-19 protocols and requirements set forth by a Federal court order. However, Northwest did not always provide timely responses to detainee grievances and did not always respond to detainee requests and grievances in a language understood by the detainee.
