The Department of Homeland Security firmly denies allegations of inadequate food and poor conditions at ICE detention facilities, calling such claims "FAKE NEWS." DHS asserted that all detainees receive proper meals certified by dieticians, medical treatment, and the ability to communicate with family and legal representatives. Reports, however, detail complaints from migrants about meal shortages and food quality issues, with some migrants alleging they were only provided one meal a day, leading to hunger and food-related illnesses. Notably, incidents of unsafe conditions have also prompted escapes from detention centers.
The report spotlights the plight of various migrants who claim they're grappling with meal shortages and food-related illnesses while detained at migrant detention centers across the country.
Homeland Security emphasized that all detainees are provided with proper meals, medical treatment, and opportunities to communicate with their families and lawyers.
FAKE NEWS! Any claim that there is a lack of food or subprime conditions at ICE detention centers are FALSE, according to the DHS.
