科羅拉多州衛生官員目前正與運營奧羅拉移民及海關執法局（ICE）收容處的私營公司 GEO Group 陷入緊張對峙。
Colorado health officials are currently in a tense standoff with the GEO Group, the private company operating the Aurora ICE Processing Center.
2026年6月初，亞當斯縣衛生局確認該設施內出現一起肺結核活動病例。
In early June 2026, the Adams County Health Department confirmed a case of active tuberculosis at the facility.
自那時起，地方當局便努力完成強制性的接觸者追蹤，以確保這種空氣傳播疾病未傳染給其他被拘留者、工作人員或訪客。
Since then, local authorities have struggled to complete mandatory contact tracing to ensure the airborne disease has not spread to other detainees, staff, or visitors.
衛生官員指控 GEO Group 與美國移民及海關執法局（ICE）封鎖了關鍵的醫療記錄與病患日誌，阻礙了調查。
Health officials allege that the GEO Group and U.S.
相反地，ICE 堅持該設施遵循所有聯邦準則，並稱目前並無確認病例。
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have blocked access to essential medical records and patient logs, hindering the investigation.
此場衝突凸顯了對監管權限更大的爭議。
Conversely, ICE maintains that the facility is following all federal guidelines and that there are no currently confirmed cases.
此爭議是循環性模式的一部分，該中心過去就曾因缺乏傳染病透明度而遭受批評。
While the state insists it has the legal right to inspect the center to protect public health, the GEO Group argues that the facility is under exclusive federal jurisdiction.
公共衛生專家警告稱，在拘留環境中，快速檢測至關重要，如今缺乏配合已成為令人擔憂的重大問題。
This dispute is part of a recurring pattern, as the center has faced past criticism for a lack of transparency regarding communicable diseases.
