“Like a Dog”: Alarming New Report Exposes Inhumane Conditions in Miami ICE Detention Centers

 Shackled during their only meal, denied vital medications, and forced to sleep on concrete with shoes as pillows — these are just some of the harrowing conditions detailed in a new Human Rights Watch report on three immigrant detention centers in Miami. The July 21 report paints a grim picture of overcrowding, neglect, and life-threatening mistreatment, raising urgent questions about the treatment of detainees under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Despite these findings, DHS officials have called the claims “FALSE,” sparking growing outrage among human rights advocates and families alike.
