Court Orders Better Facilities for Detained Illegal Aliens

The illegal alien plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit complain that “the conditions in the holding facilities a[re] far inferior to those they found in the local jails.” They say that illegal alien detainees suffer from lack of sleep because of the conditions, including that the border patrol agents keep the lights on at night.

The plaintiffs urge that the detention centers get very hot and very cold, and bemoan the lack of access to personal hygiene products. They also allege that there is “limited access to food and water.”

The plaintiffs are represented by the National Immigration Law Center, attorneys with Morrison & Foerster, LLP, the ACLU Foundation of Arizona, the American Immigration Council and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights (LCCR).

Nora Preciado, a staff attorney with The National Immigration Law Center said, “Today is a victory for our plaintiffs, and a victory for our Constitution. No one regardless of where they were born, should be subjected to the deplorable conditions our plaintiffs and other class members endured in the hieleras and we will ensure this order is implemented swiftly.”
