Following a court ruling, ICE has released hundreds of immigrants based on their medical conditions and criminal record. But rights groups argue not enough is being done.

The death of a 57-year-old man from El Salvador due to coronavirus complications earlier this month has brought renewed attention to the plight of detained immigrants under custody of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. 

ICE said Carlos Excobar-Mejia had been undergoing treatment after becoming sick at the Otay Mesa Detention Center. With nearly 200 cases, the facility has recorded one of the highest infection rates among all of the agency's facilities.

Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity published this video message by detainees at the Mesa Verde facility in Southern California.

The American Civil Liberties Union, filed a lawsuit, referring to ICE facilities as "death traps" and demanding the release of hundreds of detainees.
