Illinois advocates sued federal authorities today over allegedly “inhumane” conditions at a Chicago-area immigration facility.
Attorneys say ICE agents have created a “black box” in Broadview that has allowed authorities to act “with impunity." They allege agents have denied detainees private calls with attorneys and have blocked members of Congress, faith leaders and journalists from entering the building.
Agents have also allegedly coerced people held at the processing center to sign paperwork they don't understand, leading them to unknowingly relinquish their rights and face deportation, according to the lawsuit.
