## Resource

A federal judge in Baltimore is weighing whether ICE must face harsher penalties after allegedly ignoring a court order to prevent overcrowding at its downtown detention facility. Testimony from ICE officials and data experts stretched for nearly five hours, with immigrant advocates presenting evidence that the facility was over 66% overcrowded for more than 100 days since the ruling — despite ICE’s claims of compliance and improvements. The case stems from a broader class-action lawsuit exposing systemic failures, including inadequate medical care for detainees with serious conditions like HIV and diabetes. While ICE argues its own data shows less crowding and highlights efforts to train staff on health screenings, advocates demand independent oversight. The judge’s decision could reshape how ICE operates in Baltimore — especially as construction resumes on a new processing center.
