Kern County Eyes Immigration Facility Inspections

Kern County supervisors are weighing whether they can legally inspect immigration detention centers amid growing public pressure — especially after dozens showed up at a June meeting demanding health checks at the state’s largest facility, CoreCivic in California City.

No immediate decisions are required, but the conversation is heating up as the county grapples with its role in ensuring humane conditions at these high-profile facilities.
