In Michigan, a man in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was sent into a jail's general population unit with an open wound from surgery, no bandages and no follow-up medical appointment scheduled, even though he still had surgical drains in place.
A federal inspector found: "The detainee never received even the most basic care for his wound."
In Georgia, a nurse ignored an ICE detainee who urgently asked for an inhaler to treat his asthma. Even though he was never examined by the medical staff, the nurse put a note in the medical record that "he was seen in sick call."
"The documentation by the nurse bordered on falsification and the failure to see a patient urgently requesting medical attention regarding treatment with an inhaler was negligent."
And in Pennsylvania, a group of correctional officers strapped a mentally ill male ICE detainee into a restraint chair and gave the lone female officer a pair of scissors to cut off his clothes for a strip search.

How about the rest of the situation at the border created by the Biden policies...?
What situation did his policies create? Biden has largely kept a lot of Trump's border policies in place. As of March 2023, they still had in place Title 42, Trump's biggest border policy.
What I can tell was changed is the Biden administration recognized that overcrowding in Border Patrol centers was unsafe and dangerous and would try to stop that.
Also if you actually read the article: "In examining more than two dozen facilities across 16 states from 2017 to 2019, these expert inspectors found "negligent" medical care (including mental health care), "unsafe and filthy" conditions, racist abuse of detainees, inappropriate pepper-spraying of mentally ill detainees and other problems that, in some cases, contributed to detainee deaths."
Who was the administration 2017-2019? Now Biden administration did fight to stop these reports from being public (as did Trump's). But this came from a FOIA request. It took two years to get a judge to approve it.
So what "Biden border policies" are you exactly talking about?
