The president of a Washington, D.C.-based medical service provider that holds a government contract with the Trump administration says the company will no longer provide health care services at immigration detention facilities.
Aspen Medical USA posted job listings for positions in Roxbury, New Jersey at a “secure medical facility” that included nurses, X-ray technicians, radiologists and pharmacists. At least one of the positions said the job would require “providing quality medical care to patients within a transitional corrections setting.”
Earlier this week, the Trump administration closed a $129.3 million deal to buy a warehouse in Roxbury that it plans to turn into a detention center for people detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In an interview Friday, Aspen Medical President Ethan Bond said the company is not recruiting for any jobs in New Jersey and said the remaining job postings “should not exist.”
Aspen Medical has faced media scrutiny over similar postings in Merrimack, New Hampshire, where another ICE detention facility had been proposed. The company was among a group of firms recently awarded a U.S. Navy contract in connection with the Trump administration’s multibillion-dollar spending plan on immigration enforcement and detention.
