1/4 At ICE’s Krome Detention Camp in Florida, Cuban immigrants formed a human "SOS" on the patio—desperate to alert the world. The facility is nearly 200% over capacity. Built for 600, it now holds 1,700. People sleep on floors, eat only a cup of rice a day, and go without medical care.

Amy Dru Stanley and Craig Becker: The masking of ICE agents is indefensible
The courts must act to declare masked arrests unconstitutional, as unreasonable seizures barred by the Fourth Amendment.
