Detention Dispatches: Medically vulnerable detainees fear for their lives
Guest: Jose Martinez Gonzales, Detainee at Otay Mesa Detention Center
Of all the facilities used by ICE, Otay Mesa holds a dubious distinction. It continues to lead the country with the highest number of detainees infected with COVID-19. Among the approximately 660 ICE detainees at Otay Mesa is Jose Martinez Gonzales. Diagnosed as a diabetic, the 44-year-old Mexican has lived in the United States for over 30 years.
