Open and running for over four years, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Los Angeles Staging Facility provides health screens and chest x-rays for over 1,200 detainees a month. Our facility is unique and one of a kind as our sole mission as the primary staging facility for medically screening detainees entering into the ICE Los Angeles Field Office which covers all adjacent counties including Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange Counties. In collaboration with the secondary Medical Screening operation in Orange County (Santa Ana, CA), we ensure ICE detainees receive appropriate medical care and clearance for placement within ICE and contract facilities. The Los Angeles Medical Staging Facility operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week and 16 hours on weekends. During these times, ICE detainees are continuously monitored ensuring optimal safety for staff and detainees alike.
