Migrants at Ice jail in Miami made to kneel to eat like dogs', report alleges
Briefly

Miami immigration jails are reported to be inhumane, with migrants shackled and forced to kneel while eating. Overcrowding is severe, with detainees packed into holding cells for long hours without food. Female detainees lack access to gender-appropriate facilities and are subjected to humiliation by being made to use toilets in view of men. Detainees often spend extended time without adequate bedding or clothing and suffer from overcrowded conditions, leading to further neglect and abuse. The treatment reflects a pattern of cruelty and disregard for detainees' dignity.
