immigration detention facilities

Access-to-attorney issues at immigration detention facilities can include policies requiring lawyers to schedule visits days in advance, detainees being transferred after visits are scheduled, and administrative scheduling delays that prevent attorney meetings before legal deadlines.

U.S. federal courts can issue temporary orders requiring immigration detention facilities to provide detainees with basic necessities and humane conditions, including adequate bedding, sanitation, showers, three meals a day, bottled water upon request, menstrual products, and prescribed medications.
