San Diego County sues DHS, ICE, and CoreCivic over blocked health inspection at Otay Mesa, citing unsafe conditions and federal denial of access despite prior approval.
San Diego County has sued the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, and CoreCivic over being blocked from conducting a public health inspection at the Otay Mesa Detention Center, alleging federal authorities denied access despite prior approval.
County officials say unsafe conditions—such as inadequate medical care, poor food, and lack of interpreter services—pose public health risks and violate state law, which grants local health authorities oversight rights.
The lawsuit claims the federal government violated the Administrative Procedure Act by failing to justify the denial, while DHS cited a missed seven-day notice requirement.
The case highlights ongoing tensions over oversight of immigration detention facilities and the balance between federal authority and public health accountability.
