A series of leaked photographs reveals the harsh conditions inside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, where detainees are seen forced to sleep in a cramped, makeshift area known as a sally port at the Miramar field office. The images highlight severe overcrowding within the agency’s detention centers, raising concerns about inadequate housing and living conditions for those held in custody.

The disclosure could prompt further scrutiny of ICE’s handling of detainee welfare and facility management.
