In Pennsylvania, immigration rights advocates are calling for the Moshannon Valley Processing Center to shut down after another death in ICE custody. Chaofeng Ge, a 32-year-old immigrant from China, was pronounced dead last week after he was found hanging by the neck in the jail’s shower. Ge had been held at the center for five days. Moshannon is operated by the private prison company GEO Group and is the largest ICE jail in the northeastern U.S. This comes as the number of people detained at immigration jails has surpassed 60,000 — a record high.
