When a federal judge dispatches an independent physician into the walls of California's largest immigration detention facility, it is a signal that the ordinary channels of accountability have proven insufficient. The resulting medical record — now entered as evidence in court proceedings — places the daily conditions of hundreds of detained people before the scrutiny of law. What happens next will test whether the judiciary can serve as a meaningful check on the treatment of those who, by circumstance, have little power to speak for themselves.
