The Torrance County Detention Facility (Torrance) in Estancia, New Mexico, houses U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees while their immigration cases are reviewed. Torrance is critically understaffed, which has prevented the facility from meeting contractual requirements that ensure detainees reside in a safe, secure, and humane environment. We recommend the immediate relocation of all detainees from the facility unless and until the facility ensures adequate staffing and appropriate living conditions.
