ICE is detaining people in torturous conditions in a two-story office building in #Burlington, Mass. The detainees are barely being fed, can't wash their hands, and are in such confined spaces that they can't all lie down at once. #Massachusetts #mapoli www.wbur.org/news/2025/06...

Peredo Carroll said her client spent a couple days in a small holding cell by herself — an 8-foot-by-10-foot space with nothing but a toilet. Eventually, two other women were moved into the room.

The space was so small that all three of them couldn't lie down at the same time, Peredo Carroll said.

"So two of them could lie down while one was leaning up against the toilet," she said.

Eventually, all three women were moved to a larger holding cell with about a dozen other women. Once again, there were no beds, or a sink with soap for handwashing, and the women slept on the floor.

There was one toilet in the center of the room and "the women used the aluminum blanket to cover each other as they used the toilet so they could have a little bit of privacy," Peredo Carroll wrote in her affidavit.

Throughout her stay in Burlington, Peredo Carroll said her client received three small meals per day: a small cup of oatmeal in the morning, a couple spoonfuls of pasta for lunch and some sort of rice dish for dinner that she likened to "dog food." A small bottle of water came with each meal.

Sherman-Stokes also said her client in the Burlington facility was "not being fed appropriately." After 18 hours in ICE custody, she’d had a small cup of oatmeal and an apple, she said.

Time for more coot feet! An American Coot strutting its stuff. #birds #coot #Burlington

An American Coot walking away from me, high stepping on the frozen lake, with its head down and left foot up. Coots are gray, with a black head and red eye, and balloon like lobed yellowish-green feet.

And FYI, there's a weekly protest at the #Burlington ICE facility hosted on Wednesdays. But I don't think there's a #NoKings protest scheduled for there yet. More info: facebook.com/groups/14594...
