A federal judge has ruled that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is permitted to deny toothbrushes to immigrants detained at the Manhattan federal courthouse at 26 Federal Plaza. The American Civil Liberties Union, along with other advocacy groups, has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security over the inhumane conditions in which detainees are held. These individuals are often kept in crowded cells for extended periods without basic necessities like toothbrushes, or access to legal counsel. Following the lawsuit, the judge granted a temporary restraining order for improved conditions and basic hygiene supplies.
