Supervisor Tours Immigration Detention Center | Bakersfield News

Though Perez admits the county hasn’t faced immediate crisis, she’s stepping up to respond to community outcry, including from former mayor Samuel Fields, who urged her to witness conditions firsthand. With limited enforcement power, county health officials say they’re constrained by federal jurisdiction — but Perez’s visit signals a commitment to transparency, accountability, and finding solutions for those impacted.
