By MIKE SCHNEIDER, Associated PressDetainees arriving at the immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades are given color-coded uniforms and wrist-bands and then segregated based on their criminal history and whether they’re considered a flight risk, according to a handbook given to detainees.
The handbook presents strict rules on hygiene and dress, and portrays an environment inside the remote detention center that starkly contrasts with the deplorable conditions detainees described shortly after it opened in July.
But operations continued after the judge’s preliminary injunction was put on hold in early September by an appellate court panel.
Civil rights groups on Monday asked a federal judge in Fort Myers for an injunction that would stop the facility from holding detainees.
Detainees who enter the facility disappear from the normal detainee tracking system,” they said in a motion for an preliminary injunction.
