Protect Immigrants in Detention!

Dear Dr. Norman Oliver, I am a concerned resident of Virginia. I have heard the news that our immigrant brothers and sisters in detention facilities are faced with enormous barriers to their health. During normal times this is unacceptable, but during a global pandemic, it is a crisis. I am asking you as the State Health Commissioner to demand inspections of detention facilities in order to determine their compliance with VDH laws, regulations, orders, licenses, and/or certificates as you have the power to do under Virginia law. Our immigrant neighbors deserve for their health to be a priority- regardless of their immigration or carceral status.
