MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, JUL 21 – A report by Human Rights Watch and others documents shackling, medical neglect, and overcrowding at three South Florida ICE detention centers amid intensified detentions since January 2025.
- On July 21, 2025 in Miami, migrants were shackled to kneel during meals and described by one detainee as `like dogs`, across three overcrowded South Florida ICE facilities.
- Advocacy groups, such as Human Rights Watch, link policy changes under the Trump administration to increased overcrowding and deteriorating conditions since January 2025, as advocacy groups highlighted.
- Many migrants endured up to 12 days sleeping in `the ice box`, held on bus in facility parking lot, and denied proper medical and hygiene care, causing inhumane conditions.
- Katie Blankenship said `The anti-immigrant escalation and enforcement tactics under the Trump administration are terrorizing communities and ripping families apart,` while ICE responded, `Ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of individuals in our custody is a top priority at ICE.`
- Despite planned expansion, overcrowding complaints persist nationwide, with detention averages at 56,400 daily and 72% with no criminal record, as advocacy groups report ongoing issues in ICE facilities.
