Tougher Enforcement Swell's Detention Center's Population
Stepped up enforcement by immigration officers has resulted in a sharp increase in the number of detainees at the Krome detention center in west Miami-Dade where the population may now exceed 1,000 -- almost double its publicly stated capacity. Detainees said the crowding was leading to fights, and unsanitary dormitories, showers and clogged toilets. ALFONSO CHARDY in the Miami Herald.
