The detention visitation group Freedom for Immigrants has updated its map of U.S. detention centres with a “Covid-19 Reporting” filter that provides updated information about infections in detention centres as well as other impacts related to the pandemic.
The Center for Migration Studies has launched a dedicated Covid-19 policy developments page, which focuses mainly though not exclusively on U.S. developments.
The Detention Watch Network has launched a Covid-19 action page, complete with toolkits and information resources. According to the page, “The threat of a coronavirus outbreak at immigration detention facilities is imminent. People locked up in immigration detention are extremely vulnerable to the spread of infectious disease due to their deprivation of liberty, deteriorating health while in detention, and the track record of fatally flawed medical care in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) custody.”
