When undocumented workers are caught they get sent to a detention facility run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).<br /><br />There are dozens of detention facilities across the US and some immigrants are even kept in actual prisons with convicted criminals.<br /><br />There have been accusations of mistreatment, lack of medical care, and lack of attorney access at some of these detention facilities.<br /><br />The ACLU successfully sued the ICE to have undocumented families removed from one of the detention facilities because of the conditions.<br /><br />Now, the ACLU is calling for federal oversight for the detention centres to ensure that there are standards in place.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Mike Kirsch reports.
