A U.S. District Court granted a permanent injunction requiring ICE to improve detention conditions and end overcrowding at its 26 Federal Plaza holding facility in New York. The order followed a class action lawsuit by the ACLU, NYCLU, Make the Road New York, and Wang Hecker LLP, after ICE held more than 100 people, sometimes for weeks, without beds, showers, or adequate medical care, and banned confidential legal visits and communications. A bench trial in May 2026 found ICE had repeatedly violated an earlier preliminary injunction and exceeded court-imposed capacity limits at the facility. The new order requires adequate sanitation, meals, and medical care, and mandates confidential attorney phone calls within an hour of arrival.
