A Feb. 9 inspection of Minnesota’s Whipple Federal Building revealed unsanitary conditions, no bedding, and limited legal access for 40 detainees, prompting legal action.
Immigration attorneys Kim Boche and Hanne Sandison filed court documents after a Feb. 9 inspection of Minnesota’s Whipple Federal Building, where about 40 detainees were held in seven rooms, including medical and administrative spaces.
They found no bedding, with men sleeping on floors, unsanitary conditions with rotten food waste, and a functional phone box routing calls to Kentucky.
Detainees reported no access to legal help, and consulate instructions were unclear.
The visit, ordered by Judge Nancy Brasel, followed a lawsuit challenging the Department of Homeland Security’s restrictions on detainee access to attorneys during Operation Metro Surge.
