Immigrant families detained in an Oregon prison for illegal entry by the Department of Homeland Security have been given meals that violate their religious beliefs while enduring brutal conditions, according to a court filing.
The Associated Press reports that William Teesdale, the chief investigator for the federal public defender’s office in Oregon, wrote in a court filing Friday that more than 100 detainees at a federal prison in Sheridan, Oregon, are subject to strip searches in front of other inmates, overcrowded cells, and poor heating with little clothing to wear.
Some of the detainees are from India, Nepal, Guatemala, Mexico and China, according to the court documents, which allege that Hindu refugees were offered only beef and pork meals and were forced to attempt to subsist off the scant vegetable portions.
“We are dying day by day inside here,” one detainee said, according to Teesdale.
“In the night, it gets so cold in the cell and when l was in boxers and T-shirt, I was terribly cold,” another said in a habeas corpus filing.
An ICE spokeswoman told the AP that the agency has no comment on the condition in the Sheridan facility due to pending litigation. An attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union described the conditions as “chaos, confusion and massive human suffering,” in a statement.
One detainee has already attempted suicide at the facility, according to officials, and a court filing reveals that at least one other migrant at the prison is experiencing suicidal thoughts.
“I have to cry in my pillow,” one immigrant wrote in his habeas corpus brief. “I have suicidal thoughts but then I remember my family. My family is all that keeps me going.”
Federal Public Defender Lisa Hay warned the prison's warden and local ICE officials that the facility continues "to fall below the minimum standards set by our government for immigration detention and, in my view, violate the Constitution by imposing punitive detention on civil detainees," according to the AP.
The Trump administration has faced criticism for the mass detention of migrants suspected of illegal entry as asylum claims and other determinations of legal status are made. The policy is part of the administration's zero-tolerance policy for illegal entry, enacted earlier this year.
Last month, President Trump signed an executive order ending the separate detention of children and parents after facing widespread outrage over the forced separation of families.
Literally like Hitler's concentration camps. I bet there's no WiFi either.
Don’t serve them Spam, thats quality stuff, serve them Treet instead.
They are not migrants. They are illegal fracking alien criminals and if they weren’t trying to bust into our country, they wouldn’t be forced to endure anything. I think they should absolutely be treated like the criminals that they are.
Apparently he/she didn’t try hard enough.
Outside chance the Guatemalan was Catholic that wasn’t offered fish as a red-meat substitute on a Friday?
That’s because there’s a chance that the meat in their Big Macs isn’t beef! :-D
Detained migrants say they were given meals that violate their religious beliefs
Tough sh... if you don’t like it, don’t eat it. You are lucky to even get more than bread and water.
SUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP.
Immigrant families detained in an Oregon prison for illegal entry by the Department of Homeland Security...
They shouldn't be kept in the country long enough to need to eat. Otherwise, they need to STFU and eat what is put before them. Thanks yesthatjallen.
You got free food and a free bed...Shut up and eat, or not...
Exactly... If it sucks so much to be HERE the way you CAME HERE, then go back...
Good fn grief? Really? Pffft....go home and get all your special sharia meals there.
My father was a veteran of WWII and the Korean War. Dad was an air traffic controller who served in China and India (CBI). He told us many stories about his year in China and year in India during WWII. Dad told us that the Chinese people were starving and literally came onto the base to “beg” for their garbage! People who are truly hungry aren’t particular about the food they’re given.
Suichwan Airfield
The airfield was used primarily by forward photo-reconnaissance units flying unarmed P-38 Lightning aircraft over Japanese-occupied territory on intelligence gathering missions beginning in October 1943 until the end of the war. The airfield was evacuated in June 1944 due to Japanese units advancing in the area, then reactivated in November. It was again evacuated in late January 1945 in the face of a rapid Japanese advance. It was again activated on 30 April 1945. It was eventually closed at the end of the war in October 1945, and appears to have been abandoned. Aerial photography shows many remains of the field to this day.
Sneak into America, break our laws and then demand what’s for dinner? String their asses up.
Get ready for more of this crap coming down the pike. To me it means the most humane thing is to speed up deportations.
womp womp
Throw in some pickled eggs and some Pabst Blue Ribbon and them people would swim the oceans to get away from that stench.
Don’t eat it then.
