The constitution is supposed to guarantee these things. That a court was required to order it? Fuck absolutely everything about this.

Is breathable air also necessitated? Is there a minimum or maximum atmospheric pressure allowed in detention areas? Just how specific do the laws and orders need to be to prevent malicious compliance bullshit?
"You never said the blankets couldn't be made of steel wool and soaked in lemon juice."
"Temperature-appropriate clothing, sure - but you didn't specify appropriate for the local climate and not somewhere thousands of miles away."
"The medication supply was adequate, it sufficed for the rest of their life!"
There ain't no rule that says a concentration camp can't be made entirely of asbestos coated lead!
All this talk of lead and asbestos has put this song in my head...

When "bullet time" was blowing up after the Matrix was released I was expecting to see some references to the music video I saw on MTV that preceded it; but I don't think I ever did. In 2014 (based on file timestamps) I randomly remembered the video and finally tracked it down: Meat Beat Manifesto - Helter Skelter.
Human decency, but only under court order, and only if ICE chooses to comply.
Looks pretty rotten, now.
Seems like a low estimate.
So, they are being made to follow the law, right?
So after ICE completely ignore the law (as is their tradition), what punishments are going to be visited upon the relevant ICEholes? A strongly-worded letter? Slap on the wrist with a wet lettuce leaf? Riot police storming the facility and beating the rogue agency staff into submission before arresting them?
(That last one was, of course, nothing more than a little fantabulism).
Next they'll be ordered to provide them with valuable food and water that could be going towards our nation's hardworking, law-abiding citizens. Disgusting.
