Detainees in Florida immigration detention centers are being subjected to inhuman conditions, including denial of medical care, overcrowding, and degrading treatment. At least two recent deaths may have been linked to medical neglect.
These are not isolated incidents, but rather the result of a fundamentally broken detention system that is rife with serious abuses.
The US government should prioritize community-based alternatives to detention, immediately address the abusive detention conditions, and provide independent oversight of detention facilities.

"These documents have been the subject of requests by ranking members of Congress and litigants following the rendition of hundreds of Venezuelans and a small number of Salvadorans to the Salvadoran prison known as CECOT in March—the rendition of Venezuelans being effectuated under the purported wartime authority of the Alien Enemies Act.

The documents provide few additional details on the prisoner transfer arrangement between the United States and El Salvador—telling in its own right. Rather than memorializing the full terms of the deal, the principal function of these documents appears to be establishing a written record that the United States sought and received (and then sought to remind El Salvador of) assurances that detainees transferred to El Salvador would be treated humanely and not tortured, consistent with El Salvador’s obligations under the Convention Against Torture.

Seeking such assurances that foreign partners will not violate international law is a longstanding practice by the U.S. government—a practice of dubious value. Here it seems that State Department lawyers sought to create a paper trail in an attempt to rebut claims that the United States or U.S. officials renditioned people to El Salvador intent that they be abused—actions that could violate the United States’ own treaty obligations and potentially expose U.S. officials to criminal prosecution abroad. These documents should be understood as a legal fig leaf."

"This report finds that staff at the three detention facilities researchers examined subjected detained individuals to dangerously substandard medical care, overcrowding, abusive treatment, and restrictions on access to legal and psychosocial support."

President Donald Trump started his second presidency with a burst of executive actions on issues core to his electoral success, such as the economy and immigration. Public support for him on those issues is starting to slip. #trump #polls #immigration

#Legal experts said the pattern of conduct is unprecedented for any presidential admin & threatens to undermine the #judiciary’s role as a check on an #ExecutiveBranch asserting vast #powers that test the boundaries of the #law & #Constitution. #Immigration cases have emerged as the biggest flash point, but the admin has also been repeatedly accused of failing to comply in lawsuits involving cuts to federal #funding & the #workforce.

The allegations against the admin are crystallized in a #whistleblower complaint filed to #Congress late last month that accused #DOJ ofcls of ignoring court orders in #immigration cases, presenting #legal arguments with no basis in the #law & misrepresenting facts. #SCOTUS Justice Sonia #Sotomayor also chided the admin, writing that #Trump ofcls had “openly flouted” a judge’s order not to deport migrants to a country where they did not have citizenship.
