ICE has agreed to reform measures at its Central Islip federal courthouse holding facility after a federal judge found the agency in contempt for inhumane conditions and excessive detention lasting up to 72 hours. More than 100 migrant detainees reported sleeping on floors, lacking access to showers and medical care, and being held in spaces designed only for brief detention. The agreement comes as ICE expands its nationwide detention capacity amid increased enforcement operations.
