Good morning, judge.
Yes, I can hear you.
I beg you to give me a chance to speak.
My father was transferred to there
and I was not given the opportunity to deal with a lawyer.
Carol Barrios is a US citizen who lives
outside Miami, Florida.
She was expecting her father to land at the Miami airport
but he never made it to her.
And instead she got a phone call a few days later
that he was in an ICE detention facility.
Please, I, I beg you to allow me the right
to due process and allow me the right to speak.
As an American citizen,
I myself have that right.
This was the start of
what would be a very lengthy stay in ICE detention.
And for Carol, it was the start of this journey of trying

But ultimately it benefits everyone when a county is not
dependent on human suffering to survive.
This person said they were there for 32 days.
They went out and saw the sun
probably only 13 hours in total.
The food is poor. They're not treated like a human.
What everyone feels here is fear and more fear.
So one of the things we wanted to do was get a sense of
what the conditions were like in some of these facilities.
We wrote some prompts.
What do you want the world to know about
what it's like in ICE detention?
And, can you describe how you feel right now?
One of the letters we got back was from Josė.
He says he was arrested on February 13th.
This is the most difficult experience of his life.
