The US government's recent escalation of immigrant detention practices has seen hundreds imprisoned in federal prisons, particularly since February. This agreement between ICE and the Bureau of Prisons means immigrants, many facing civil violations, are now held under brutal conditions typically reserved for criminal offenders. Detainees have reported mistreatment, neglect, and a lack of communication regarding their legal status. Overcrowded prisons have resulted in shortages of basic necessities, and detainees find themselves cut off from attorneys and family, creating a chaotic and distressing environment.
The partnership between BoP and Ice has shifted the landscape of immigrant detention, leading to dire conditions and effective isolation from legal support and family.
Since February, ICE's use of federal prisons has led to overcrowding, neglect, and a significant lack of basic necessities for immigrants facing deportation.
