Markey blasts ‘inadequate’ conditions at ICE facility

In a letter to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Boston acting Field Office Director David Wesling, Markey said after a meeting with him and other officials Dec. 11 he “continues to be alarmed by the allegations of overcrowding and inadequate conditions” at the Burlington facility, “as well as by ICE’s arrest dragnet.”
