A detainee at the Broward Detention Center for undocumented immigrants in Florida is taken into a metallic room with two guards and handcuffed to a chair. The guards get his wife on the phone and order him to tell her that he is doing fine. After hanging up, they threaten to deport her, which would leave their elementary-age child alone at home if he doesn’t board a plane to be deported. Don’t be fooled, this isn’t some gritty crime drama, it’s another day in the life of undocumented immigrants who are forced to endure the bullying and gang-like tactics of the ICE guards running these detention centers.
