Color me entirely unsurprised. The sketchy stuff that's known was bound to be the tip of an iceberg.

"For more than three years, the federal government — under both the Trump and Biden administrations — fought NPR's efforts to obtain those records. That opposition continued despite a Biden campaign promise to 'demand transparency in and independent oversight over ICE.'"

The article deacribes conditions during the Trump admin, from 2017 to 2019. Although, I'm sure conditions in ICE dentention aren't great now, either.
