Detainees at three federal immigration detention centers in South Florida are regularly subjected to medical neglect, overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and mental and physical abuse, according to a new report by three human rights and legal aid groups.
In one incident, officers allegedly made men wait hours for lunch and then forced them to eat with their hands shackled behind their backs.
"We had to bend over and eat off the chairs with our mouths, like dogs," Harpinder Chauhan, a British entrepreneur who was detained by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) this spring and eventually deported, told the report's researchers.
