A federal trial commences in New York on May 26th, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement defends its detention practices at 26 Federal Plaza. Immigrant advocates and lawyers from Make the Road New York and the New York Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit last August, alleging overcrowded, unsanitary holding cells that denied detainees basic necessities and legal access, violating First and Fifth Amendment rights. The suit covers anyone held there during a surge in ICE arrests. Judge Lewis Kaplan issued temporary and preliminary injunctions to cap detention numbers and provide basics, but ICE admitted using a previously unknown ninth-floor space without fully following the rules. With an agreement to apply the injunction to all detention areas, the trial awaits for a final ruling on these practices.
