Summary
Detainees at U.S. immigration facilities are suffering severe mental and physical health crises, including panic attacks and untreated medical conditions, as reports surface of unsafe, unsanitary conditions and rampant abuses. One detainee, Aliaksei Scharbachenia, fears deportation to Belarus where he faces persecution, yet has been denied medication and had personal items confiscated. He was even placed on a deportation flight — only to be returned to the U.S. after being bound for the entire journey. These alarming conditions mirror findings from government inspectors in Texas and Louisiana, while Congress just approved $70 billion in new funding for ICE — with no restrictions — fueling outrage from civil rights advocates demanding facility closures and greater oversight.
