NPR Investigation Reveals 'Barbaric' Conditions in ICE Detention Facilities
The Biden administration is under intense political pressure from Republicans over immigration, who accuse the president of being too lenient toward migrants.
Now, the administration is locking up more unauthorized immigrants and asylum-seekers in detention facilities, and NPR has exclusively obtained more than 1,600 pages of confidential inspection reports examining conditions inside those facilities.
They describe barbaric practices, negligent medical care, racist abuse and filthy conditions.
NPR's Tom Dreisbach reports on the abysmal conditions detainees are forced to endure.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

Wildin
In 2014, 16-year-old Wildin Acosta left Olancho, Honduras and traveled toward the U.S. border. When he arrived, he turned himself in to border patrol agents. He was one of 68,541 unaccompanied minors who crossed the border into the U.S. that year. We spoke to Wildin Acosta shortly after Donald Trump’s inauguration, and after he had spent months in a detention center.
