Lawsuit alleges ICE detainees denied access to counsel while held in ‘inhumane’ conditions

Lawsuit Alleges ICE Detainees Denied Access to Counsel

A recent lawsuit claims that ICE detainees are being held in inhumane conditions and denied access to counsel.

In the Chicago suburb of Broadview, protests were held in September and early October, bringing attention to a little-known ICE facility.

The facility, which has operated for 19 years, has typically kept a low profile, with only a weekly prayer vigil, started by a pair of nuns in 2007, attracting small crowds.

A protestor dressed in striped clothing reminiscent of uniforms worn by those imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps walks with a sign outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing facility.

Author's summary: ICE detainees face inhumane conditions and lack of counsel.
