Putting illegal immigrants in ICE Detention facilities is cruel, and inhumane. The conditions in these camps are unsanitary, and not safe. There are children as young as 7&8 staying in these camps. A detainee stated that ““the water provided them was foul, of a dark color, and an ordinary glass would collect a thick sediment. The authorities never removed any filth.” Along with these young children having to deal with these conditions, there is also overcrowding in this camp. Where 800 people can be crammed into a space meant to fit 125. “dangerous overcrowding” in some Border Patrol facilities and included pictures of people crowded together like human cargo.” A source who visited one of these camps, explains the horrible sights she saw at these camps.  "What we saw today was unconscionable. No child should ever be separated from their parents. No child should ever be taken from their family," They also claim to have seen children as young as 9 caring for infants they had just met. Although these people are illegal immigrants, and many do not want them in the U.S, it is inhumane to put them in conditions like these.

Illegal immigrants should not be put in ICE detention centers because both the adults and children are treated in ways that are brutal and severe. At the centers, there is little food provided and even the food that the detainees receive is unhealthy. According to The Atlantic,  “Our ration was in quality a starving one, it being either too foul to be touched or too raw to be digested.” No matter the circumstances of why they were put into the detention center, every human being deserves clean food and a healthy amount of it. Most would expect that the children would be in better conditions. But, it is the opposite. The Atlantic states that, “These observers told the press that the children at a facility in Clint, Texas, were sleeping on concrete floors and being denied soap and toothpaste.” These children are already terrified because they are being split from their family and placed in a room with complete strangers. Not being able to sleep on a bed or brush their teeth, just makes matters even more brutal for these kids. ICE detention centers are cruel places where people are treated as if they don't matter.
