Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security inspectors went to visit several border facilities in the Rio Grande Valley and they discovered adults and minors have no access to showers.

The draft report compiled by the inspectors and obtained by Buzzfeed shows the dangerous conditions. There was serious overcrowding and had little access to hot showers or hot food for families and children in some facilities. Some kids were being kept in closed cells.

“Specifically, we are recommending that the Department of Homeland Security take immediate steps to alleviate dangerous overcrowding and prolonged detention of children and adults in the Rio Grande Valley,” wrote Jennifer Costello, acting inspector general.

“I have never seen such appalling, degrading, inhumane circumstances in my 12 years representing children and families in immigration detention,” Elora Mukherjee, the director of the Immigrants’ Rights Clinic at Columbia Law School, told BuzzFeed News. “It’s an urgent public health crisis and it’s a humanitarian crisis.”

She added: “We need to investigate CBP detention conditions across the border,” 

“This should not be happening on American soil, we need Congressional hearings to immediately investigate and demand information.”

The report said that most of the adults had not showered for nearly a month while in CBP custody, and using wet wipes to stay hygienic. Many adults and were being given only bologna sandwiches to eat which is causing constipation.

Officials stopped their visit at one facility to not to agitate the situation anymore.

“Specifically, when detainees observed us, they banged on the cell windows, shouted, pressed notes to the window with their time in custody, and gestured to evidence of their time in custody (e.g. beards),” the report read.

“Senior managers at several facilities raised security concerns for their agents and the detainees,” the inspectors wrote. “For example, one called the situation a ‘ticking time bomb,’ and another said there was ‘fear of a revolt.’”
