As Trump’s immigration dragnet grows, so do complaints of detention center conditions
The Trump administration's expanded immigration detention program has led to reports of inhumane conditions and inadequate medical care at facilities like the Farmville Detention Center in Virginia. Aliaksei Scharbachenia, a Belarusian detainee, described panic attacks, unaddressed medical issues, and solitary confinement after sharing legal information with new detainees. ICE did not respond to questions about his treatment or a reported deportation attempt.
