ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — An outside expert who inspected an immigration detention center in Virginia that experienced a massive coronavirus outbreak is recommending that some high-risk inmates be released after finding flaws in the center’s screening procedures.
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema ordered the inspection last month after several detainees filed a lawsuit with the help of legal activist groups. Brinkema faulted the detention complex in Farmville for an outbreak that affected more than 90% of the center’s nearly 300 detainees, including a 72-year-old detainee who died. Government officials fought unsuccessfully to block the inspection.
The expert, Homer Venters, inspected the site last month and filed a report made public Friday that says the center does a poor job of screening inmates for COVID-19 symptoms. He recommended that detainees at high risk for the disease be released. Venters also reported that the inmates refuse to wear mask, saying that most of the detainees are already infected so they don't see the point!

Think about this, released to where and when. Are you sending them back to where they came from or just release and add to our welfare rolls. Who will be held accountable for their actions after and how will they be tracked. No now seems to be able to think the situation to the finish point. Is the outside EXPERT going to take one the responsibility. I am sure they won't.
I imagine Jesus would love locking up human beings in horrible conditions just because they wanted to escape the life they were born into. Don't give them a path to citizenship in the country they want to be a part of - just lock them up right?
Release ALL to Mexico !!! Not Here !!!
They should execute them instead of release obviously they can’t or won’t live in a civil society
Leave Jesus out of this one
Easily solved they should not be here in the 1st place because they are illgals. ReTurn then to the country of origin
I read the headline and immediately went to Facebook to check my farm for an Ice detention center
