Tuberculosis Outbreak at Colorado ICE Jail Affects 12

At least 12 individuals detained at a federal immigration jail in Aurora, Colorado, have contracted tuberculosis in recent days. This outbreak has led to dozens of other detainees being placed in quarantine within the facility. One detainee, who has been held at the Aurora facility since December, communicated through their partner that those affected by the outbreak are enduring isolation without air conditioning. This situation represents the latest in a series of health concerns reported at the federal immigration jail. The specific number of individuals quarantined beyond the 12 confirmed cases of tuberculosis has not been publicly disclosed by authorities. The Guardian reported on these developments based on testimony from inside the facility, relayed via a telephone call on Monday afternoon.
