Witnesses testify to alleged unsanitary, squalid conditions inside Broadview ICE facility
On Tuesday, the I-Team was in court, where we heard shocking testimony about unsanitary and squalid conditions alleged inside the Broadview Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing facility.
Lawyers asked a federal judge for an emergency restraining order to improve conditions for detainees.
The question on Tuesday was, what happens inside the walls of the Broadway immigration detention center where attorneys, politicians and protesters have been turned away? The stories from court are shocking and jarring.
The I-Team heard testimony from detainees estimating 150 to 170 people packed into cells at Broadview. The single-occupancy cells hold as many as seven people. People have allegedly been on top of each other and staying an arm's length away from a toilet in the shared cell.
Two men who were arrested by ICE and are now suing the federal government over these reportedly "abusive and cruel" conditions inside the facility took the stand as witnesses on Tuesday morning. They are both immigrants from Mexico who have lived in the U.S. for over 30 years.
One witness broke down in tears on the stand while describing the unsanitary conditions inside. The alleged deplorable conditions and testimony were so disturbing that the judge compared conditions at Broadview to those of a concentration camp. Click here for more.
