Lawsuit Alleges 'Inhumane' Conditions at Chicago-Area ICE Site

**Summary:**Advocates in Illinois have filed a lawsuit against federal authorities over the allegedly inhumane conditions at the Broadview immigration center. The lawsuit claims that detainees are denied private calls with attorneys, lack oversight, and are coerced into signing documents they don't understand. Reports describe packed cells, unsanitary conditions, and limited access to legal counsel. The government disputes these claims, stating that detainees receive meals, water, and access to phones. The situation has sparked public outrage, protests, and a separate lawsuit regarding the treatment of activists and journalists. A federal judge has mandated that agents must wear badges and use specific riot control methods, and required agents with available body cameras to wear them. The Daily News Now! - Every city.
