In the summer of 2020, ICA-Farmville became the site of the largest COVID-19 outbreak in any immigration detention center in the country at the time. The outbreak was caused by ICE's transfer of 74 people, 51 of whom had COVID-19, from detention centers in Florida and Arizona. This suit was filed on behalf of fifteen people detained by ICE atn ICA-Farmville during the 2020 COVID-19 outbreak and were being denied their right to safety, medical care, and adequate food while detained. NIPNLG filed the lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia along with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP and the Legal Aid Justice Center.
