O (the declarant from the court transcript)

Four.

They took us to the same place, the Whipple building, where the immigration court is located.

Five.

In the garage, ICE agents checked our belongings and IDs, and then they took us inside and put us in a cell where we waited to be processed.

The cell was small but was already holding about 40 people.

We were there close to 20 hours in that cell.

It was really hot and dirty.

There was food scattered on the floor.

The floor was sticky with mud, and everything stuck to your shoes.

I was so tired.

There was one toilet, but there was no privacy.

I worried about viruses and bacteria since there were so many of us in the cramped space.

We were only given food two times in that almost 20 hours.

both times a sandwich, an apple, and a cookie.

I tried to sleep, but there was no space to sit down.

When some people got up from the floor, I would sit down, but it was painful to be on the cement floor.

6.

On Sunday, January 11th, after breakfast, an ICE officer came and got me.

He took my fingerprints.

I was finally allowed to make one call.
