‘When we allow abuse and violence to fester we’re all unsafe’: KIRO hosts call for accountability at Tacoma ICE facility as judge orders inspections A federal judge ruled last week that the Northwest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Processing Center in Tacoma must allow inspections,reported.
The order goes into effect on July 23, giving the GEO Group, the private company that runs the Tacoma facility, time to appeal. KIRO host Ursula Reutin and KIRO fill-in host Angela Poe Russell agreed that the facility needs to be held accountable.
“I think the punishment is the prison sentence, and when we allow abuse and violence to fester for anybody, we’re all unsafe. It’s not good for any of us,” Angela said onon KIRO Newsradio.
“And I think you need better systems so that people can report these things and folks can be held accountable. ”“I mean you’re looking at a for-profit company that is going to do everything it can to make maximum profits at the expense,” she explained.in April that they were suing GEO Group after Washington State Department of Health inspectors were turned away 10 times, despite more than 3,500 complaints alleging unsafe food, medical neglect, and unsanitary conditions at the detention center, according to Brown’s office.
“The fact that this company has defied the law for the last three years is absolutely unacceptable,” Angela said. “Unacceptable,” Ursula responded. “And bottom line, you don’t have to agree with someone’s immigration status to believe that they deserve clean water, medical care, and basic human dignity, and I think that we have to just keep reminding ourselves of that too.

“They cannot just show up unannounced and expect to be let in. ” However, Mike Faulk, Deputy Communications Director for the Washington AG’s Office, told KIRO Newsradio the department followed the procedures. Faulk cited documents showing Labor and Industries, along with local food inspectors, have conducted announced visits at GEO Group’s facilities for decades.
“GEO cannot pick and choose which state inspectors it allows into its facility or which state laws it must comply with,” Faulk stated via email. “Unannounced inspections are what the state law explicitly requires,” Faulk stated. “It seems ironic that ICE would have a problem with unannounced enforcement activities.
