ICE's Detention Facility in Lower Manhattan Fails to Meet Basic Hygiene and Living Standards, Lawyers Claim.

Detainees held at the federal immigration facility in Lower Manhattan are facing prolonged suffering due to a lack of basic amenities, including hygiene products and clean clothing. Despite a federal judge's orders for improved conditions, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have allegedly continued to deny detainees these essential items.

In a recent court filing, lawyers for the detained immigrants stated that despite a preliminary injunction issued by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan in August, ICE has failed to comply with its order. The ruling mandated that ICE reduce the number of people staying in holding rooms, provide sleeping mats and toiletries, allow detainees to make confidential calls with their attorneys, and distribute information about detainees' rights.

New affidavits from detained immigrants reveal a dismal experience. Carlos Chalco Chango, an Ecuadorian immigrant, claimed he was forced to wear the same clothes for four days without access to soap or any other hygiene products. Jose Javier Cuy Cumes stated that he received neither a toothbrush nor soap until another detainee informed him about their availability.

The food portions were also found to be inadequate, with Cumes losing six pounds during his two-day stay in ICE custody. Furthermore, attorneys have been unable to reach clients held at the facility due to the lack of communication channels.

Lawyers are now seeking penalties and monitoring mechanisms to ensure compliance with Judge Kaplan's orders. The lawsuit aims to hold the federal government accountable for its failure to meet basic living standards for detained immigrants.
 
ICE is really failing its own people... 😕 They're supposed to be helping ppl, but instead they're making them live like animals in detention facilities 🚽. Who needs clean clothes & hygiene products, right? Not a decent human being. It's so sad that ppl are suffering like this & lawyers have to fight for basic rights 🤬. Can't we just treat each other with dignity & respect? 🙏
 
ICE is literally taking advantage of ppl in a really bad way 🤦‍♂️. I mean, who gets held in custody without access to basic hygiene products? It's not like they're asking for much. A toothbrush, some soap, clean clothes... it's all just human decency. And don't even get me started on the food portions, 6 pounds lost in 2 days? That's wild. 🤯

It's crazy how they can just ignore a judge's order and keep ppl in horrible conditions. Lawyers are trying to hold them accountable, which is great, but it should've been done a long time ago. ICE needs to step up their game and treat people with some respect. I mean, we're not asking for much, just basic human rights 🙏.

And can we talk about how hard it must be for ppl who are already in a scary situation to deal with even more stress? Being denied access to communication channels is like, the ultimate anxiety trigger 😩. The government needs to take responsibility for this and make sure something like this never happens again.
 
🤕 This is just heartbreaking. I mean, how can you expect people to thrive in a system where they're being denied basic human necessities like clean clothes and soap? It's not exactly what you'd call "humane" treatment. The fact that these detainees have been left without access to toiletries for days on end is unacceptable. And let's not forget about the food situation - it sounds like some people are really struggling to get by.

I think it's a no-brainer that ICE needs to step up its game and prioritize the well-being of those in their care. The fact that lawyers have had to file court documents just to get basic conditions met is crazy. It feels like a system that's supposed to uphold the law, but is actually failing its most vulnerable members.

I'm all for holding people accountable, but this just goes to show how broken our immigration system can be. We need to find better ways to support those who are seeking refuge and trying to make a new life in our country.
 
🤯 this is straight up unacceptable, how can they expect people to live in conditions like that? i mean, i've stayed in hostels and motels with better amenities than what these ppl are gettin' at the ICE facility! 😷 what's next, rakin' mud baths and servin' stale crackers for every meal? this is just disgusting and it's not even like they're tryin' to hide it, lawyers are out there sayin it straight up 🙄
 
🤕 ICE is literally failing these people! Can't believe they're being treated like animals in a detention center. Basic hygiene products and clean clothes? How hard is that to provide? 🙄 And don't even get me started on the food portions, losing 6 pounds in 2 days is insane! 😷 I'm so sorry to hear about Carlos and Jose's experiences. It's ridiculous that they had to wait for another dude to tell them about soap and toothbrushes... basic human dignity is being completely disregarded here 🤦‍♀️. We need to make sure our government holds them accountable for this, it's unacceptable! 💪
 
🤕 this is just disgusting, can't believe we're living in a country where people are treated like animals 🐒 especially when they're already in a vulnerable situation trying to seek asylum or fix their immigration status... it's not just about the stuff they need, but also the basic human dignity and respect that should be given to anyone behind bars 🚫 no one should have to suffer like that for so long, we need real change ASAP 💪
 
this is getting crazy, i mean what even is going on at that detention center? they're basically holding people in animal cages, no soap or clean clothes, and then they have the nerve to call it humane treatment 🤯 seriously though, how can you deny someone a toothbrush? and six pounds lost from just 2 days of not eating enough? that's insane. i'm telling you, this is all about keeping people quiet while they're locked up, they don't want anyone to know what's really going on behind those bars 🚫
 
omg can u believe this?? 🤯 ICE is literally failing these ppl on a huge level. I mean i know we all have bad days at school when we forget our lunch or something, but detaining ppl and denying them basic human rights is not okay 🙅‍♂️. I cant even imagine having to wear the same clothes for 4 days without soap or showering... that would be super uncomfortable on a bad day let alone weeks on end 😷. And 6 pounds lost in 2 days?? thats crazy! i feel so bad for these ppl who r going through this 🤕 we gotta make sure ICE is held accountable and that ppl are treated with respect and dignity 💯
 
omg this is so messed up 🤯... ICE is literally failing miserably at even meeting basic human needs, you feel? it's insane that people are being held in squalid conditions without access to soap or clean clothes... six pounds lost over two days is wild 😷 and the fact that lawyers can't even reach their clients due to lack of communication channels is a total disaster 📞

it's like, we're supposed to be a country that values human rights, but when it comes down to it, we're more concerned with paperwork and procedure than actual people's well-being 🤷‍♀️... i mean, what's the point of even having laws if they're not gonna be enforced? 🚫

anyway, it's good that lawyers are pushing back and demanding accountability 👮‍♂️... we need more voices like theirs speaking out against these kinds of injustices 💪
 
its really sad to hear that the detentions facility in Lower Manhattan is not meeting the basic hygiene and living standards 🤕 ICE needs to step up their game ASAP. Four days without soap? That's just unacceptable. And six pounds lost in two days? thats a huge red flag for detainee health too. the fact that attorneys can't even reach the clients on time is a clear sign of neglect.

i'm not sure what's more concerning, the fact that ICE failed to comply with the judge's orders or the lack of accountability in place to prevent this from happening again 🤔. lawyers need to be able to hold the government accountable for these types of issues. any way you slice it, this is a clear case of systemic failure and its gotta change 👊
 
man, this is a total fail on the part of ICE 🤦‍♂️. it's like they're treating people like animals instead of human beings. think about how you would feel if you were stuck in some dingy holding room with no clean clothes or hygiene products for days on end... it's not right, and it's a total breach of basic human dignity. the fact that these lawyers are having to take action to get ICE to comply with a court order is just a testament to how broken the system is 🤔. we need to start holding our leaders accountable for treating people with respect and kindness, not locking them up in squalid conditions like they're some kind of prisoners. it's time for us to have a conversation about what it means to be a decent society 💬
 
omg this is so sad 🤕 ICE needs to step up their game ASAP! these ppl are being treated like animals, not human beings. how r u supposed 2 survive in a facility w/ no soap or toothbrush? and those food portions r basically starvation rite? i cant believe the govnt isnt takin this seriously enough. lawyers are doin thier part tho 💪 but we need 2 see some real change happen. like, whats wrong w/ uice?? can't they get it together 2 provide basic necessities 4 people who r already in a super vulnerable position? 🤷‍♀️ we gotta hold them accountable 4 this!
 
Ugh, come on, people! I mean, I'm not surprised but still... ICE is totally failing at their job here 🙄. Detainees are basically living in squalor and it's like, how hard is it to provide some basic hygiene products?! It's not rocket science, guys. And don't even get me started on the food portions – six pounds lost in two days? That's insane! 🤯 You'd think they could at least provide some soap and a toothbrush... Basic human dignity, people!

And have you seen those holding rooms? I'm pretty sure that's not what Judge Kaplan had in mind when he ordered ICE to improve conditions 😂. It's like, basic math: if you're gonna keep people locked up, at least give 'em some semblance of respect.

I mean, I get it, there are a lot of issues with the immigration system, but come on... this is just basic human decency we're talking about here 🙏. Lawyers need to keep pushing for better conditions and accountability – we can't let ICE get away with treating people like dirt 💔.
 
🤯 This is insane! How can a place like that exist in our country? I mean, I know we're always talking about reforming immigration laws and stuff, but this is just basic human decency. ICE needs to step up their game and start taking care of these people. Four days without soap or a toothbrush? That's just cruel. And the food portions are tiny! It's no wonder these guys lost weight. We need to hold our government accountable for treating people like this. I don't think it's too much to ask for basic hygiene and food, you know? 🤷‍♀️
