As an immigrant arrest increases, complaints of misconduct at the oldest detention center of America in Miami mounts complaints

Miami: In the crowd as hundreds of migrants Chrome detention center In Miami, the edge of the Florida Everglads, a fear of a rebel set among its employees.
As President Donald Trump demanded to make the pledge of his campaign good to arrests and to remove migrants, Chrome, the oldest of the United States Immigration prevention With a long history of convenience and misconduct, its prisoner’s population recently swells up to about three times the capacity of 600.
“There are 1700 people in Chrome here !!!!,” an American immigration and customs enforcement worker read a co-worker last month, saying that even though it felt unsafe to walk around the feature, which no one was ready to speak.
This tension comes between a fight in federal courts whether the President’s immigration crack has gone far away, very fast at the cost of fundamental rights.
In Chrome, the report has a lack of water and food, unnatural imprisonment and medical neglect. With the increase in complaints, the Trump administration discontinued three Department of Homeland Security Oversite offices on charges of investigating such claims.
A copy of the Text Exchange was shared by a federal employee on the condition of anonymity on the condition of anonymity for fearing vengeance. Other documents include the complaints of captivity as well as an account of the arrival of 40 women in Chrome, which is an all-male feature, which is in a possible violation of a federal law to reduce the risk of gel rape.
Nationwide, the details have increased to around 48,000 by 23 March, with the end of the biden administration to 21% from high levels already.
To address the lack of capacity, Ice This month published a request for dialects, which is to operate the detention center up to $ 45 billion as it attempts to extend to 100,000 beds from its current budget for about 41,000. As part of the build out, the federal government, for the first time, wants to catch migrants at the US Army bases.
With some measures, Trump’s controversial approach is working. According to the US customs and border security, their lowest level in December 2024 faced the lowest level in the lowest decade in the decade and 11,000 migrants below, their lowest level was at least a decade and below 96,035.
Chrome is only one of the five features that moves straight and can give homes to the prisoners for more than 16 hours. The vast majority of bed space are leased from local jails, jails or privately operated facilities, which have strict limitations to be contracted to accept how many detainees they are.
As its concrete seblock started filling, federal workers started documenting deteriorating conditions in weekly reports for DHS leadership. He first worked in the chain through the DHS office of an independent watchdog, Immigration and Detention Ombdsman, an independent watchdog established by the Congress during the Trump administration.
In mid -March, 100 office staff – including a case manager in Chrome – was placed on administrative leave.
DHS spokesman Trisia McLaglin said at the time, “Instead of supporting law enforcement efforts, they often act as internal opponents that slow down operations.”
At the same time, the chaos of Chrome spread to the public scene. The images secretly shot on a cellphone and shown a group of men posted on Tikkok on the concrete floor and shown a little more than their shoes as a pillow.
“We are practically kidnapped,” Osiris Vazor, due to lack of sleep, his eyes bleed from blood, said in a granular video, which was seen 4.4 million times. “We don’t like. We want help. Please!”
Vazakwez said that he shared a small room with some 80 men for two weeks. Rainfall and phone calls were not allowed, fetal-melted bathrooms were left and food was limited to peanut butter sandwich.
“You lose all the perception of time, whether it is day or night,” recalled Vazakwase in an interview after being self-sufficient in your original Mexico.
It could have been worse. Ever since Trump returned to the White House, three prisoners died in snow custody – two of them in Chrome.
The latest, Makasim Chernak, died after complaining about the crowd and cold condition to his wife. The 44 -year -old Ukrainian last year entered the US under a human program for people fleeing the country’s war with Russia.
After arrests for domestic violence, he was sent to Chrome and became ill due to chest cold. After monitoring for a week with high blood pressure, on 18 February, 2:33 pm, he was taken to a hospital for vomiting like seizure. Two days later, he died.
In addition to acetaminophen, they found no drug to treat their blood pressure, according to the report of two-places about Cherac’s death. The widow of Chernak said that before her husband’s custody, she was a “strong, healthy person”. Without a translator, she said, her husband struggled to communicate.
“He saw his situation, but he ignored him,” said Oksana Tarsiyuk in an interview. “If he is not placed in Chrome, I am sure he will still live.”
Ice, in a statement, did not comment on specific allegations of misconduct, but said it adjusts its operation, as it is required to maintain its duty to treat individuals with dignity and respect.
The agency said, “These allegations are not keeping in mind the parameters of snow policies, practices and care.”
According to the latest ice data, Chrome placed 740 men and a woman on 31 March. This is 31% just before Trump assumed. Snow refused to disclose Chrome’s current capacity due to security concerns.
