Europe EditionLawyers: Women being held by ICE in inhumane conditions
- Two Maryland mothers from Guatemala and El Salvador were abruptly detained by ICE last week in Baltimore during routine check-ins and confined under inhumane conditions.
- Their sudden detention followed years of lawful residence and regular check-ins, and they faced planned deportation to Mexico despite prior immigration relief, prompting a class-action lawsuit.
- The women reported no meals, beds, bedding, soap, showers, or phone access, with one denied diabetes medication for over a day and both held far beyond the 12-hour ICE policy limit.
- A federal judge issued an emergency order preventing their deportation while hearing the lawsuit, which alleges repeated unlawful detentions and lack of medical care at ICE’s Baltimore holding rooms.
- This case highlights ongoing concerns over ICE’s detention practices, including extended confinement in unsuitable holding facilities, with advocacy groups calling these conditions unconstitutional and inhumane.
