In a controversial move, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has opened a new immigrant detention center within the notorious Louisiana State Penitentiary, also known as Angola. The decision has sparked outrage and concerns over the safety and well-being of detainees.

The new facility, which has been operational for just a few weeks, houses hundreds of immigrants awaiting deportation proceedings. Critics of the move argue that placing vulnerable detainees in a prison with a history of violence and neglect only exacerbates their already precarious situation.

This development comes on the heels of a tragic incident in an ICE detention center in Arizona, where a Mexican man tragically died in custody due to what authorities are calling a "medical emergency." The incident has raised questions about the conditions and medical care provided to detainees in ICE facilities.

Advocacy groups are calling for increased oversight and accountability within ICE detention centers to prevent further tragedies and ensure the safety and well-being of all detainees. As the debate over immigration policy and detention practices continues to heat up, the opening of the new detention center at Angola is likely to add fuel to the fire.
