A federal judge has mandated that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) address the appalling conditions at its detention facility located at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City. This decision comes after multiple complaints from detainees, who reported inhumane living situations, including being forced to sleep on dirty concrete floors without basic amenities such as beds and access to showers. The ruling highlights the necessity for ICE to enhance living standards and ensure humane treatment for individuals in their custody, in response to ongoing criticisms of mistreatment and inadequate facilities. The judge further specified that ICE cannot continue to detain individuals at this facility unless they comply with these orders. Advocates and legal groups have been actively protesting and suing over the conditions and practices of ICE, particularly concerning arrests made at immigration courts.
