San Diego County Sheriffs officials neglected to investigate at least seven reported sexual assaults at the Otay Mesa immigration detention center this year, raising concerns about accountability and victim protection. The center, operated by CoreCivic, has a memorandum allowing the warden to decide on rape claims investigation, with CoreCivic handling administrative reviews and referring serious cases to law enforcement. However, records show no requests for sheriffs office involvement in the seven incidents, leaving criminal follow-up in civilian hands. Advocacy groups and county supervisors express outrage, questioning the setup and calling for stronger oversight. A new county lawsuit against CoreCivic and federal agencies alleges blocked health inspections, adding to broader tensions and pressure for real accountability.
