Thursday evening, three Democratic members of Congress visited the Mesa Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding facility in Arizona and found over 250 being “packed like sardines.” The detention center is only built to fit 157 people. Detainees are being held in rooms without beds or blankets or access to showers. Rooms made for 21 occupants are holding with over 40 people. Rep. Ansari said a detained man pleaded for help for another detainee with a fever who needed medical attention. When Ansari asked staff about getting that person medical attention, she was told it would happen when she left. “He literally stared at me blankly like I was asking him to do something impossible,” Ansari said of the supervisor.
