"The Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn has never been inspected under U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's compliance standards, and no inspection is planned. This raises significant concerns about the conditions and treatment of detainees."
"Fewer than 24 percent of the detained immigrants have criminal convictions, according to the Department of Homeland Security, indicating a troubling trend in the detention of individuals without criminal backgrounds."
"Congressman Dan Goldman became the first lawmaker to visit the ICE facility at the MDC, revealing that many detainees, including political asylum applicants, have no criminal history."
Nearly 200 individuals are detained at New York City's Metropolitan Detention Center, with over half lacking any criminal record. The facility has not been inspected under ICE compliance standards. Congressman Dan Goldman toured the MDC, which began holding detainees amid increased ICE actions. Since the contract's initiation, 176 immigrant detainees have been held, with fewer than 24 percent having criminal convictions. More than 50 percent of detainees have no details on charges, raising questions about the detention process and conditions.
