Coronavirus infections inside U.S. immigration detention centers surge by 520% in 2022

Color me not shocked in the least. CBS is reporting that coronavirus infections inside U.S. immigration detention centers have surged by 520% in 2022:

On Thursday, 1,766 immigrants were being monitored or isolated at ICE detention facilities due to confirmed coronavirus infections, a more than sixfold jump from January 3, when there were 285 active cases, government statistics show.

The number of detainees with active COVID-19 cases represents 8% of the 22,000 immigrants ICE is currently holding in its network of 200 detention centers, county jails and for-profit prisons.

Not good.
