A new report has revealed mounting criticism against the $45 billion plan by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to rapidly expand its detention infrastructure through tent-based facilities, sacrificing everything from safety to sanitation in the process.
"There's a reason no one wants to live in a tent," said Eunice Cho of the ACLU's National Prison Project to the news site, citing numerous logistical failures such as insufficient medical infrastructure and poor sanitation. "They certainly are not weatherproof," she added, "and they do not have the setup to make sure people's medical concerns are addressed."
