Biden-appointed judge in the hot seat after DHS fires back at 'false' claims about ICE facility
Every delay has consequences.
The Department of Homeland Security on Monday blasted a federal judge’s order requiring it to immediately improve conditions at its ICE processing facility in Baltimore — including reducing the number of detainees held there at one time, and improving access to food, hygiene, and medical care — telling Fox News Digital that the court’s determination of any "subprime" conditions or overcrowding are "false."
"Illegal aliens in custody are provided food, water, blankets, and hygiene products," a spokesperson for DHS said Monday, alleging that ICE "has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens," including access to "comprehensive" medical care.
The characterization comes hours after a federal judge in Maryland issued a preliminary injunction Monday ordering ICE to either drastically improve conditions at its Baltimore processing center or find a new facility to "humanely" and legally hold the migrants before transferring them to a longer-term detention center.
BIDEN-APPOINTED FEDERAL JUDGE RULES TRUMP'S 'THIRD COUNTRY' DEPORTATION POLICY IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
U.S. District Judge Julie Rubin, a Biden appointee, sided with plaintiffs Monday in ruling that Baltimore's holding center conditions are "unhygienic, unsanitary," and ultimately, unconstitutional.
Rubin used a 67-page preliminary injunction to carefully tick through a long list of egregious conditions alleged by lawyers for plaintiffs over the last 10 months, including allegations of squalid, unsanitary holding, severe overcrowding, and a lack of medical screening, access to medical care, and necessary treatment — which the judge noted could lead to liability issues, or "in the worst-case scenario, fatalities."
"The debated issue here is not defendants’ legitimate governmental interest; it is that defendants apparently dispense with even rudimentary decent, humane treatment of civil detainees, and so too their constitutional rights as a result," Rubin said in the preliminary injunction, which applies to all current and future detainees at the holding facility operated by Baltimore's ICE Field Office.
She sided with plaintiffs in ruling that the conditions in Baltimore are "unlawfully punitive" and reflect a "deliberate indifference to the health, safety, and medical needs" on behalf of the government, in violation of the Fifth Amendment and due process protections granted under the U.S. Constitution.
Rubin also rejected the notion that ICE detainees and illegal immigrants are not entitled to due process, citing the Supreme Court precedent under Zadvydas v. …
