People whose medical requests were ignored at Krome North Service Processing Center

At Krome North Service Processing Center in Miami, detained people and their families describe medical requests going unanswered: denied insulin, inhalers, and pain medication, delayed responses to chest pain and stroke symptoms, and women housed without adequate care. Reported outcomes include hospitalizations and deaths following these delays. Stories were first documented in January 2025, became recurring by February 2025, which was also the peak month, and now make up a smaller share of recent reported cases than at that peak.

“Están tratando de matarnos prácticamente con lo que son las comidas. Aparte, el sitio no está en condiciones médicas, hay gente enfermándose; hay una gripe que no se va porque estamos en hacinamiento, 76 personas en una sola celda”
