A U.S. judge has ordered improvements to conditions at the immigration holding areas of 26 Federal Plaza in New York City following reports of inhumane treatment. Detainees described the facility as 'crowded, squalid, and punitive.' The order mandates better sanitation, increased access to medical care, and improved living conditions for those held at the ICE facility. The ruling follows a lawsuit filed by advocacy groups alleging constitutional violations and seeks to ensure basic human rights are respected during detention.
