From the Article;

Only yesterday did they finally discover his whereabouts: a privately owned ICE detention center flagged by human rights organization for severe medical neglect and both physical and sexual assault.

So he's being held at the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Jena, Louisiana. Which is apparently a private facility owned by the 'GEO Group.'

Yet ICE still pretends that detention is “non-punitive”.

Fuck ICE
