Marcelo Gomes da Silva, 11th grader, describes deplorable conditions while in detention.
Cruelty, it has to be faced, is the plan.
Gomes Da Silva was subsequently detained for five nights in cells that are intended to hold detainees for hours before being transferred. The cells lack access to basic amenities like beds and showers.
"The Burlington (Massachusetts) facility is not a detention center, it's a holding cell," Nice told USA TODAY after a June 5 hearing in Gomes da Silva's case, which has drawn nationwide attention and fervent local opposition to his detention and possible deportation.
