Families raise concerns about conditions inside downtown Miami federal detention facility

Families of immigrants detained at the Federal Detention Facility in downtown Miami report poor conditions, including lack of air conditioning, detainees drinking water from sinks, and cockroach infestations. The facility, which houses over 1,300 inmates, has had ongoing air conditioning issues for years, with a portable chiller in use for three years. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Prisons provided limited responses to the concerns.
