Immigrants say they were treated ‘worse than animals’ inside a facility that’s become a focal point for protests
A federal judge has ordered Homeland Security officials to improve conditions inside a Chicago-area immigrant detention facility where detainees say they are treated “worse than animals” and packed into unsanitary holding cells “like a pile of fish.”
Wednesday’s temporary restraining order from District Judge Robert W. Gettleman follows several hours of courtroom testimony from five people who have been crammed inside the Broadview Processing Center, a focal point for protests against Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
“It has really become a prison,” Gettleman said during a hearing Tuesday.
Yep there needs to be some auditing, accountability and most importantly consequences when guidelines aren’t adhered to.
