Muslim detainees at a federal immigration facility in Florida have been repeatedly served pork or pork-based products, which goes against their religious beliefs, according to legal and civil rights advocates.
The groups allege that Muslim detainees at the Krome detention facility in Miami have been forced to accept pork because the"religiously compliant or halal meals that ICE has served have been persistently rotten and expired."Expired halal meals have been an issue for over two years, but the situation for the detainees at the facility was exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic, according to Muslim Advocates and Americans for Immigration Justice.
"The detainees are frustrated, rightfully so, that something as simple as being able to get meals that are edible for them and religiously compliant for them are not being attended to," Azmi said."I think that they particularly feel that they're just being ignored, that ICE is being dismissive, that nobody cares."Azmi said that she reviewed notes and letters from the detainees describing the conditions inside the facility.
