Judge Orders Release of Photos of Border Patrol 'Ice Box' (Hieleras) Holding Cells
Jorge Rivas, June 29, 2016 - "A District Court in Tucson this week unsealed hundreds of documents and photos that reveal the government has long been aware of the inhumane conditions in the Border Patrol’s infamous “hieleras,” temporary holding cells that are known for their extremely cold temperatures. The photos show the filthy conditions and broken water fountains in facilities used to detain undocumented immigrants immediately after their arrest."
