Human Rights Watch released a report detailing abusive practices at three immigrant detention facilities in Florida: Krome, BTC, and FDC. The report spans January to June of this year, alleging that all three facilities violate both international human rights and U.S. immigration detention standards. Detainees reported being shackled for extended periods on buses without food or water and being forced to sleep on cold concrete floors. Access to hygiene, healthcare, legal support, and psychosocial care was also significantly restricted, revealing dangerous conditions for those detained.
The report documents conditions for detained immigrants at Florida's Krome North Service Processing Center, Broward Transitional Center, and Federal Detention Center, alleging flagrant violations of international human rights.
Detainees reported being shackled for prolonged periods on buses without access to food, water, or functioning toilets, indicating severe mistreatment and overcrowding.
Staff at the detention facilities subjected individuals to dangerously substandard medical care, overcrowding, and abusive treatment, while restricting access to legal and psychosocial support.
Critical medication was denied to detainees, and some were placed in solitary confinement as punishment for seeking mental health care, illustrating severe human rights abuses.
