Lawsuit alleging unsafe, inhumane detention conditions in several Border Patrol facilities in US state of Arizona set to go to trial Monday
In this August 9, 2012, file photo, suspected illegal immigrants are transferred out of the holding area after being processed at the Tucson Sector of the US Customs and Border Protection headquarters in Tucson, Arizona.
Nearly 852,000 people — largely families with kids — were apprehended last fiscal year. This prompted cries of a crisis at the border from government officials looking to stem the numbers and widespread allegations of subpar conditions in Border Patrol facilities that are designed for short-term stays for adults.
This September, 2015, file image made from US Border Patrol surveillance video shows a child crawling on the concrete floor near the bathroom area of a holding cell, and a woman and children wrapped in Mylar sheets at a US Customs and Border Protection station in Douglas, Arizona The Border Patrol didn't respond to a request for comment. It has defended its practices in the past, saying its facilities are designed for short-term stays and that a variety of factors affect how long someone is there.
