A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the government to significantly improve the conditions at an immigration detention facility in suburban Chicago that has become a locus of protests against President Trump’s immigration crackdown.
U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman said Wednesday that the government must provide bedding, hygiene supplies, daily showers, clean toilets and three meals a day at the Broadview, Ill., facility, which was designed to be a temporary holding spot for people caught up in immigration arrests. Lawyers say instead it has become a “black site,” holding immigrants for days or weeks in squalid and unsanitary conditions without access to legal counsel.
