Brooklyn pols demand halt to immigrant detainee transfers to troubled MDC

Local elected officials on July 14 called on the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Department of Justice to immediately halt the intake of immigrant detainees at the troubled Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, calling the conditions at the federal facility “inhumane” and “barbaric.”

At a press conference outside the notorious prison, U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-Brooklyn/Manhattan), joined state Sen. Andrew Gounardes (D-Brooklyn), Assembly Member Robert Carroll (D-Brooklyn) and community activists in highlighting the inhumane conditions at the facility while condemning the Trump administration for what they described as its unlawful targeting of immigrants for expedited deportation. More than 100 migrants arrested by ICE are currently being housed at the prison.
