Summary

Immigrants being detained by ICE at a facility in Manhattan had been complaining for weeks about unsanitary and inhumane conditions. A spokeswoman for Trump's Department of Homeland Security said those complaints were lies. But once a video of the conditions inside that facility was published by The New York Times, it turns out the confinement conditions were, indeed, inhumane, with detainees sleeping on dirty concrete floors for days or weeks without a mattress or even a thin mat of any kind.

A federal judge in New York has issued an order directing ICE to, in substance, stop treating detainees inhumanely.

Glenn reviews this legal development and discusses Judge Kaplan's new court order.
