During a press conference held at the ICE ERO Miramar Field Office, advocates discussed their top concern, which was overcrowding at the facility.<\/p>\n

Aside from the claims of overcrowding, advocates said there is a lack of privacy when it comes to access to restrooms, and people have to sleep on the floor.<\/p>\n

The groups also told NBC6 that they’re concerned about the heat that is common in South Florida.<\/p>\n

Circle of Protection, an immigration advocate group, was joined by other organizations and laid out their demands.<\/p>\n

One of their demands is for members of Congress to conduct unannounced visits to the facility and inspections.<\/p>\n

NBC6 spoke to several people who expressed their concerns with the facility.<\/p>\n

“This facility is not meant to hold individuals; it is a check-in facility, where people are meant to just come in, check in with their appointments, and unfortunately, we’re seeing people here detained well over 12 hours, and we’re seeing individuals also detained up to several days,” said a woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was here the day before and told me how crowded and hot it was inside,” said Silvia Munoz, with the Circle of Protection. “She spent there until 6 p.m. with no water and no food.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ICE facility in Miramar is meant for processing and is not a detention center.<\/p>\n
