A former US Immigration and Customs Enforcement employee has alleged that detainees at a Baltimore holding facility were left lying in faeces and urine, with women forced to wear diapers because basic sanitary products were not provided.

The claims detail how individuals were left in their own waste and that women detainees were forced to wear diapers to cope with the extreme conditions, as documented in an interview with WUSA9. The conditions the whistleblower described resembled those from history's darkest chapters rather than those in lawful detention facilities.

The source, who worked inside the Baltimore 'hold rooms' used by ICE, gave a detailed account of what they witnessed, alleging that basic sanitation had broken down under the strain of overcrowding.
