A report released on July 21 raises concerns about conditions at three overcrowded immigration detention facilities in South Florida, highlighting the troubling treatment of migrants held there. According to the findings from advocacy groups Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South, some detainees were restrained and required to remain kneeling while meals were served, underscoring ongoing issues with overcrowding and the handling of detainees.
The findings, based on interviews with those held at the facilities, also point to delays in providing meals and limited access to basic necessities, including appropriate hygiene and gender-specific care. Advocacy groups behind the report are calling for urgent improvements to ensure humane treatment.
