Immigrants Sue Over “Horrific” Conditions at Chicago ICE Facility, Alleging Concentration Camp-Like Treatment
A new lawsuit alleges that an ICE facility in Broadview, Chicago, is subjecting detainees to inhumane conditions, including overcrowding, unsanitary cells infested with insects, and inadequate access to food, water, and hygiene products. The lawsuit claims detainees are denied basic necessities, legal counsel, and medical care, with reports of verbal and physical abuse from guards. Homeland Security denies the accusations, asserting the facility is a processing center and not a detention center. This legal action highlights the ongoing controversy surrounding ICE detention facilities amidst increased immigration enforcement.
