Moshannon Valley Processing Center, a large ICE detention facility in west-central Pennsylvania, has drawn many civil rights complaints.

Four detainees have escaped from a federal immigration detention center in New Jersey, which has been the center of protests since its opening in May and where both a sitting congresswoman and Newark’s mayor have been arrested.

A small crowd of people gathered outside Delaney Hall in Newark, N.J. to demonstrate over allegations of poor conditions.

ICE detentions have surged, but deportations have not. In the past month, NPR spoke to dozens of detainees, families and lawyers who spoke of overcrowded centers in Florida lacking food and medicine.

For some women, the conditions have been particularly grim. In one case, a woman who had her period was denied access to menstrual products. When she needed to clean up, a guard allegedly gave her an extra bottle of water.

Some of the allegations from detained immigrants include, sleeping on concrete floors without mattresses or sheets, unable to shower, and denial of menstrual products.
