L.A. ICE Jail Conditions "Barbaric"
"Authorities are detaining dozens of immigrants in "barbaric" conditions in a squalid basement below a sprawling federal building downtown, a civil rights group claims.
Upwards of 200 detainees are at times crammed into a series of temporary holding rooms in the basement, with as many as 60 immigrants placed in each room, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, which filed a lawsuit against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement late Wednesday."
