O (the declarant from the court transcript)

There were about 72 of us in the cell.

The cell was the size of a small gym where they fit about 40 bunk beds.

There were only two flip phones for all the detainees in this center to use.

Over the 10 days I was in El Paso, the officers probably brought the phones into the cell for our use two to three times for two hours each.

We would get together and beg the officer to let us call our family or our attorneys.

If we could get the phone, we could only use it for two minutes.

You had to be ready when it was your turn.

If you didn't have an attorney's number memorized, you couldn't call them.

There were signs everywhere in the detention facility offering us $3,000 each if we agreed to self-deport.

The officers would frequently try to get people to sign forms agreeing to self-deport.

After five or six days, I'm not sure exactly, I was finally allowed to make a two-minute phone call.

I was able to obtain my lawyer's phone number from my dad, who I saw through the window in a different room.

I asked a security guard to ask the other security guard to get my lawyer's phone number from my dad.

I was finally able to talk to my attorney, Kim Boche, for one minute only.

She said she was trying to arrange a call with me.

The security guard started yelling at me that my time was up, so I couldn't understand much.

I don't remember much of the phone call.

I was so nervous.

16.

On Saturday the 17th, I talked to my attorney, and she told me I was supposed to be released the next day or the day after that.
