Squalid Conditions at Border Detention Centers, Government Report Finds

A page from the Office of Inspector General report.

CLICK HERE - U.S. Department of Homeland Security - Office of Inspector General - Management Alert – DHS Needs to Address Dangerous Overcrowding and Prolonged Detention of Children and Adults in the Rio Grande Valley (16 page .PDF report)

nytimes.com - by Zolan Kanno-Youngs - July 2, 2019

Overcrowded, squalid conditions are more widespread at migrant centers along the southern border than initially revealed, the Department of Homeland Security’s independent watchdog said Tuesday. Its report describes standing-room-only cells, children without showers and hot meals, and detainees clamoring desperately for release.

The findings by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General were released as House Democrats detailed their own findings at migrant holding centers and pressed the agency to answer for the mistreatment not only of migrants but also of their own colleagues, who have been threatened on social media.
