Judge orders improvements at a Chicago-area immigration facility after claims of inhumane conditions

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Plaintiffs are requesting documents on Broadview detention policies, information on how ICE's online detainee locator is maintained, emails from attorneys requesting information about their clients, a detention log, a facility inspection log, and details on what food, water and medications federal authorities are purchasing for detainees.
53% : It requires officials to provide detainees at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the west Chicago suburb of Broadview with a clean bedding mat and sufficient space to sleep, soap, towels, toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste, menstrual products and prescribed medications.
48% : "To what extent does the freedom of speech protect individuals in obstructing and/or threatening conduct -- throwing rocks, bottles, fireworks, surrounding and pinning down law enforcement officials?" But witnesses say the actions by agents have been unprovoked. Leslie Cortez, a youth organizer, said she was recording and explaining rights in Spanish to day laborers being arrested by ICE agents outside a Home Depot when one agent pointed a gun at her.
40% : In another Chicago courtroom, Senior Border Patrol official Greg Bovino defended the use of force by agents accused of using pepper balls, tear gas and other tactics against people protesting federal immigration policies and the detaining of immigrants in the area.
