The U.S. Department of Justice and various law enforcement agencies conducted a planned sweep of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, following violent incidents, including fatal stabbings.
Donald Murphy stated that the operation at the facility, which houses around 1,200 inmates, is part of efforts to maintain a safe environment for both staff and detainees.
The operation responds to ongoing criticisms of the detention center, which has faced numerous allegations of sexual assaults and inhumane conditions over its roughly 30-year history.
Despite the sweep, by Monday afternoon there was little visible evidence of any activity outside the detention center, indicating a potentially discreet operation.
