Ah! I misunderstood. It might be that they wanted to but were advised otherwise by the lawyers if there wasn’t a case. I assume they would have standing (though I’m not positive if they live outside the county), but there may not be relevant statutes they can use.

The camp could have put up its own warning system and chose not to. The camp also did not have appropriate evacuation procedures. The camp employees also directly prevented girls from evacuating the cabins when the girls begged to leave. There’s PLENTY of negligence to justify suing the camp.

I assume you mean the cdc folks and not me. You’d have to contact them directly to ask. I’m not sure if they’ll see my post here. I may repost while tagging them tho

The excerpts I'm posting are taken from over a dozen sworn declarations submitted in a lawsuit seeking to force ICE to improve conditions. I'll link to the docket at the end of the thread.

One thing comes through clearly in these declarations: the cells are FILTHY.

Today's hearing, which @jonseidel.bsky.social has been livetweeting, is in a lawsuit about conditions inside Broadview. One man held for 3 days broke into tears as he testified to the awful conditions.

Multiple sworn declarations says ICE uses the threat of longer stays to get deportation orders. 🧵
