The Krome Detention Center in Miami is overcrowded and conditions are reported as inhumane. Detainees, caught up in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, suffer from lack of resources, as exemplified by a woman named Isabel who described being shackled and compelled to spend the night in extremely cold buses. With reports indicating the facility is housing nearly double its intended capacity, former detainees and advocates express growing concern over the treatment and living conditions, highlighting the distress and desperation experienced by individuals seeking asylum or facing deportation.
One woman, identified only as Isabel, described the inhumane conditions stating, 'It was cold like you can't imagine...Sometimes we spent hours screaming, 'We're thirsty, we're thirsty!'.
Public records indicate approximately 600 people at Krome; however, detainees report the numbers exceed capacity, with one fearing they were 'sleeping on their feet'.
