It's not enough that the food isn't good enough in New York for migrants, who are reportedly wasting tons of it. Nor is it enough that migrants are getting any shelter at all, as the same migrants demonstrated in the streets with demands for permanent housing.
Now migrant open-borders groups are complaining about holding-camp conditions for illegal border crossers, hitting the Border Patrol with two lawsuits in San Diego.
Immigrant rights groups say that the Border Patrol is continuing to violate federal standards by holding migrants in open-air detention sites after they cross the U.S.-Mexico border — a situation they say has recently worsened at sites in the East County desert, according to a complaint filed with a watchdog arm of Homeland Security this week.
For months, thousands of migrants who have crossed the border, many of them seeking asylum, have been directed by Border Patrol to remain in open-air holding sites before being processed by the federal agency, according to the complaint and interviews with several migrants. The migrants wait hours or sometimes a few days at the camps before being picked up and taken to a processing facility.
The complaint, filed to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, alleges that Border Patrol agents are forcing migrants to wait at the camps without providing adequate food, water, shelter, restrooms or medical care. The groups say this is a violation of Customs and Border Protection’s standards on caring for detained individuals, as well as a violation of migrants’ rights under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
It’s the second complaint filed against the agency for conditions at the sites, though the first complaint in May focused on the camps located between layers of border wall near San Ysidro. This new complaint — filed by seven immigrant rights groups including Al Otro Lado, Southern Border Communities Coalition and American Friends Service Committee — expands to also include open-air sites in Jacumba Hot Springs, which has seen a significant increase in migrants since September.
