First, let's surge some medical support to Delaney and these other facilities.
There are clearly people who are not getting the care that they need, and Secretary Mullen can dispute that, but again โ
It's not what I'm hearing.
It's not what I'm seeing.
And I just don't see why anyone's going to stand in the way and say, like, look, let's just try to see.
I mean, the DHS has a medical unit.
You know, we can be able to surge up there in that kind of capacity right away.
Right now, they have one full-time doctor for about 800 detainees.
Many of them have significant medical concerns.
So that's what I'm trying to do initially.
Let's surge up there.
Number two, let's have a real investigation into these different claims that are about there, whether it's about the food or the other conditions.
And number three, the detainees were very clear with me that...
It's not just about the conditions.
It's about having that movement forward on their cases.
So I'm trying to, again, take what I'm hearing and figure out how to put it in action.
I've been talking to Secretary Mullen this week, telling him what I'm hearing on the ground, trying to see what we can move forward.
Because they can do this on their own if they wanted to right now.
They could demand...
you know additional doctors they could demand you know efforts to be able to surge this and that's what i hope people understand like geo group got a nearly billion dollar contract for delaney hall so they could hire more doctors tomorrow today
