The crisis along America's southern border has continued to exasperate Border Patrol agents in the field and President Donald Trump, who is attempting to put an end to the flood of illegal aliens.
Seven illegal aliens from Central American countries are suing the Department of Homeland Security because of overcrowding in Border Patrol facilities and the lack of access to legal representation, The Monitor reported.
"Petitioners were apprehended in mid-May at or near the U.S. Border with Mexico and subsequently detained. Once apprehended, such persons are often detained for extended periods of time - on information and belief, up to six weeks - in overcrowded holding cells, with inadequate food, water, and sanitation facilities, where attorneys are not allowed to visit. The conditions in these holding cells are dangerous and inhumane," the lawsuit stated.
The number of illegal aliens flocking to the United States' southern border has overwhelmed Border Patrol resources.
Border Patrol agents are having to leave the actual border to help process those who have simply walked across the border.
The lawsuit claimed the seven illegal aliens were detained at the Brownsville, Texas facility for more than five days and, during that time period, they were treated inhumanely.
The illegal aliens have now coined the facilities as "Hieleras," the Spanish word for freezers, because the facilities are small, concrete facilities with metal benches.
