A Peruvian immigrant, Sergio Alberto Barco Mercado, held at the ICE facility at 26 Federal Plaza in New York has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration condemning his conditions in detention. Mercado was arrested on Friday after making a scheduled court appearance. His lawsuit alleges that immigrants have to sleep on concrete floors and lack access to a lawyer, and that dozens of people are crammed into a small space.

Meanwhile, New York City police arrested 15 people at a protest near 26 Federal Plaza on Friday. They were demonstrating against the deplorable conditions faced by immigrants in ICE detention.
