The Federal Detention Center in Miami holds approximately 400 immigrant detainees. A report by advocacy organizations details degrading and abusive conditions that violate human rights standards and U.S. detention guidelines. Detained migrants reported experiences of extreme overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and mistreatment by officials. They faced medical neglect, with individuals suffering from serious health issues often denied necessary care. The report identified widespread mistreatment in three specific centers, illustrating the dire conditions migrants endure in detention facilities during government crackdowns on immigration.
Detainees described extreme overcrowding, unsanitary conditions and abusive treatment by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and private contractors.
Many were denied access to basic hygiene and medical care.
Emergencies were ignored; detainees with chronic health issues were denied essential medications.
