CHICAGO (AP) — A federal judge is expected to hear arguments Tuesday after Illinois groups sued federal authorities last week for what they described as 'inhumane' conditions at a Chicago-area immigration facility. U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman called for a Tuesday morning hearing, acknowledging that the timeline was 'rushed.' But at a Friday emergency hearing, he said, 'the nature of the case and the request for relief requires immediate attention.' Attorneys representing the federal government asked for more time to prepare, while the plaintiffs’ lawyers called the situation in the west Chicago suburb of Broadview a 'human rights emergency.' They claim that detainees were denied proper access to food, water, and medical care, and allege that agents did not allow private calls with attorneys and coerced detainees into signing documents they did not understand. Homeland Security officials have denied these allegations, arguing that such claims have led to increased threats against immigration officers. Gettleman ordered that the lead plaintiffs be returned to the Chicago area as quickly as possible ahead of Tuesday’s hearing. As this legal battle continues, advocacy groups emphasize the ongoing concerns regarding the treatment of detainees.
