Ongoing Abuse at Orange County Correctional Facility (Supplement to Complaints Filed February 17, 2022 and April 20, 2022)

FFI joined partners in New York to supplement previously submitted complaints filed on February 17, 2022, and April 20, 2022, seeking redress for ongoing civil rights violations against people detained at Orange County Correctional Facility (“OCCF”). This supplement is supported by information regarding the recent experiences of several individuals recently detained at OCCF, “Ms. Q”, “Ms. G”, and “Mr. D”. As the accounts of Ms. Q, Ms. G, and Mr. D describe, ICE and OCCF continue to violate the rights of people detained at OCCF. These rights include access to adequate medical care, access to safe and nutritious food, and non-punitive and safe conditions. In response to the inaction of DHS and OCCF, detained people, advocates, and government officials have continued to challenge the abuses endemic to the facility. Read the full complaint here.
