In a lawsuit filed this week in the U.S. District Court in Tacoma, the health department claimed it has received more than 700 complaints about the Northwest ICE Processing Center (NWIPC), including reports of "animal-grade food quality," COVID outbreaks, and dirty water.
DOH said their most recent attempt to enter the NWIPC for an inspection happened in mid-July. An inspector was denied access to the facility, but was allowed to take a water sable from the lobby, according to the lawsuit.
