In Chicago, a federal judge on Wednesday ordered authorities to improve conditions for immigrants detained at the Broadview ICE jail. Mounting court testimony detailed dangerously overcrowded cells — at times holding up to 150 people — with overflowing toilets, no access to beds, and drinking water that one detainee said “tasted like sewer.” The judge’s order requires officials to provide detainees with a clean bedding mat and sufficient space to sleep, as well as soap, towels, toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste, menstrual products and prescribed medications. Detainees will also be allowed to shower at least every other day and will have three full meals and bottled water upon request.
Meanwhile, a federal judge in Oregon has once again barred the Trump administration from sending National Guard troops to quell anti-ICE protests in Portland.
