"The order will be in effect for 14 days. It requires officials to provide detainees at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in the west Chicago suburb of Broadview with a clean bedding mat and sufficient space to sleep, soap, towels, toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste, menstrual products and prescribed medications."
"People shouldn't be sleeping next to overflowing toilets, said Robert Gettleman, a US district judge. They should not be sleeping on top of each other. The temporary restraining order says the holding rooms at the facility must be cleaned twice a day. Detainees must be allowed to shower at least every other day and should have three full meals and bottled water upon request."
"A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said detainees are provided with water and three meals a day, have phones to communicate with their family members and lawyers, and are not denied access to proper medical care. Despite hoaxes spread by criminal illegal aliens, the complicit media, and now an activist judge, the ICE Broadview Facility does NOT have subprime conditions, Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement."
A federal judge issued a 14-day order requiring immediate improvements at the Broadview ICE facility near Chicago. The order mandates clean bedding mats, adequate sleeping space, soap, towels, toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste, menstrual products and prescribed medications. The judge directed holding rooms be cleaned twice daily, showers be allowed at least every other day, and detainees be offered three full meals plus bottled water on request. Authorities must permit private, free attorney calls and ensure access to medical care. The order followed testimony about overflowing toilets, overcrowding, lack of beds and foul-tasting water, while DHS officials denied substandard conditions.
