"I have long opposed private detention facilities and advocated against them. I will continue to call for the closure of Delaney Hall because of reports like these.

"I have contacted ICE to gain access to the facility and my office remains in close coordination with our federal delegation and with advocates, and I commend their continued oversight and work to hold DHS accountable.

"I will continue working with our partners to closely monitor the situation and to do what's necessary to ensure humane conditions."
