Joselyn Chipantiza-Sisalema, a 20-year-old Ecuadorean public school student, was arrested inside immigration court on June 24, 2025, and held at ICE's 10th-floor processing facility at 26 Federal Plaza in New York. During her roughly 10-day stay there, she menstruated for five days without access to sanitary pads, as guards distributed only two pads for all women in an overcrowded cell, forcing her to remain in blood-stained clothing. She was then transferred to a detention center in Louisiana, where she remained before being released about three weeks after her initial arrest. Her sworn affidavit describing the conditions is part of a lawsuit filed by immigration rights groups against ICE seeking to improve conditions at the Federal Plaza facility, which detainees describe as overcrowded with limited food, water, hygiene access, and no bathing facilities.
