There is a call to action for citizens to contact officials and advocate against ICE complicity and cooperation. This document is part of a four-part presentation series by the ACLU of Florida called "The 'TAKEN' Project." It focuses on educating the public about laws and policies related to immigration detention centers in Florida, highlighting alleged illegalities, human rights violations, and atrocities occurring within them. The presentation details issues such as abuse (emotional, physical, sexual), punishment, and human rights violations related to food, healthcare, and other necessities. It also lists specific ICE detention centers in Florida: Baker County Detention Center, Broward Transitional Center, Federal Detention Center (FDC) Miami, Krome North Service Processing Center, Everglades Detention Center, and Glades County Detention Center. The document extensively details the rights of ICE detainees and alleged violations, including issues with medical care, food and water, hygiene, privacy, sexual abuse and assault, discipline/punishment, and religious rights. It also discusses the role of oversight bodies like the DHS Office of Inspector General, Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman, noting a proposed reduction in staff and closure of some of these offices. The document also highlights past community successes in shutting down the Glades County Detention Center and the Homestead Temporary Shelter for Unaccompanied Children, offering strategies for advocacy and action.
