A whistleblower reports that women detained by ICE in Baltimore were forced to lie in feces, vomit, and urine, overcrowded on the floor in scenes he compared to enslaved Africans chained in the hulls of slave ships. Women on their periods were denied sanitary products and told to use diapers, which piled up in boxes because their rooms had no trash cans. He described women treated like goats in a cage. Days after reporting the abuse, he was fired for not being a good fit.
"I saw people lying in feces, throwing up, and sleeping in urine," said the whistleblower.
Women were packed on the floor like "pictures that I saw in school of how they brought slaves over from Africa."
"We didn't always have sanitary stuff for them if they were having their cycle. They were given diapers."
"And because you can't put the diapers in the toilet, and the rooms didn't have trash cans, some of us would give them boxes. And they would fill up with these diapers."
Days after reporting the conditions to his supervisor, he was fired for not being a "good fit."
The abuse occurred at the ICE detention facility in Baltimore, Maryland.
