"We applaud ICE for providing access to a vaccine that will at least bring some relief when people are stripped of their liberties so they don't have to fear they're going to be stripped of their lives," says Laura Lunn, a lawyer who represents ICE detainees in Colorado through the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network. The Aurora facility, which is run by the private prison company GEO Group through a contract with ICE, was the site of an extended outbreak among ICE detainees in the fall of 2020. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the facility also dealt with outbreaks of other infectious diseases, including mumps and chicken pox.
