In a recent J.E.D.I. Task Force meeting focused on immigration and detention, Representative Jason Crow highlighted a significant increase in oversight measures at detention facilities. The meeting, held on April 3, 2025, revealed that inspections have ramped up from once a month to twice a month, with plans for even more frequent visits in the future.

Crow emphasized the importance of these inspections, stating, "We go in to ask the questions because now we're not gonna get emails on that." This shift reflects a commitment to addressing complaints from detainees, particularly concerning healthcare and food quality. The task force has been actively checking in with healthcare providers and assessing the nutritional value of meals served, despite acknowledging that they may not be visually appealing.

The facility in question has a capacity of 1,500 but has recently housed around 1,200 individuals. Crow noted that the team inspects various aspects of the facility, including temperature control and crowding in living pods, to ensure standards are met. "We use our visual as well to make sure that things look like they're, you know, as standard as they can be," he stated.

This increased scrutiny comes as part of a broader effort to improve conditions within detention centers, which have often been criticized for their prison-like environments. The task force's proactive approach aims to enhance the welfare of detainees and ensure that their rights are upheld. As these inspections continue, the focus remains on transparency and accountability within the immigration detention system.
