Exdetenido afirma haber pasado 15 horas en jaula de ICE en Florida

Política Sociedad

Un exdetenido afirmó que pasó más de 15 horas confinado en una jaula metálica en el centro de detención de inmigrantes de Ochopee, Florida, desmintiendo el informe de la Oficina del Inspector General del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, que sostenía que esas jaulas se usaban solo brevemente. El informe del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, elaborado por la Oficina del Inspector General, documentó el uso de recintos exteriores de metal de 16-18 pies cuadrados, donde los detenidos permanecían hasta dos horas, describiendo la práctica como sin precedentes e insegura. Además, el análisis señaló que el centro cerrado no cumplía con los estándares estatales y federales de espacio, recreación e higiene.

Resumen

A former detainee's claim of being held for over 15 hours in a metal enclosure at the Ochopee, Florida detention center was partially confirmed. The claims that a DHS inspector general report from September 14, 2026, found the use of outdoor metal enclosures as small as 16 square feet holding detainees for up to two hours, and that the report identified 18-square-foot outdoor metal cages at the facility, had not enough evidence. The Department of Homeland Security inspector general's description of the use of outdoor metal cages at the Florida detention facility as unprecedented and unsafe was partially confirmed. Agency reports indicating that such metal cages at the Ochopee detention center are used only briefly for de-escalation were also partially confirmed.
