Immigrants detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minnesota jails have worried about the spread of COVID-19 since the onset of the pandemic here in March. Now, more than half the state’s active detainee infections have appeared in a single jail facility in south-central Minnesota.
