In the past week alone. the Washington Post. "60 Minutes." and the New York Times have documented the shameful state of medical care in these detention facilities. These are people who come to the United States from all corners of the world. Some come to join their families. others come to search for jobs. others come as refugees. Some may be eligible to remain in the United States. Others may be subject to deportation. But at a minimum. they deserve basic medical care while in detention pending the outcome of their immigration proceedings. which often can take years. None of them deserves a death sentence. Congress has an obligation to act.
