that was between his luggage, sent a message to his family and company saying, "I don't think I can contact you," and then turned it off again. After waiting for over nine hours, Mr. A boarded a police van with his wrists tightly bound with cable ties. 7/X
Those who had gone before were moved with chains tied to their waists, legs, and wrists. There was a toilet inside the convoy, and the smell of urine was overwhelming. The air conditioning wasn't even on. 8/X
The workers, brought in without knowing English, were initially herded into a 72-person temporary facility. They were assigned rooms ... and the detainees were moved around. There were 4 communal toilets and 2 urinals, along with bunk beds... There was no clock and no view outside. 9/X
The bed mats were moldy. It wasn't easy to handle menstruation in a cramped space. Next to the toilet, there was barely enough cloth to cover the lower body. Ms. A endured, holding back her period. [My note: I don't see how that's physically possible] 10/X
Person A wrote, "I fell asleep without even receiving necessities or a towel," and "an acquaintance gave me a towel, so I covered myself with it and fell asleep." The temporary space was so cold that workers wrapped towels around their bodies. 11/X
Some even microwaved the towels to warm themselves. The water provided reportedly smelled. Afterwards, toothpaste, toothbrushes, blankets, deodorant, etc. were provided. After completing the admission process on the fourth day, Person A was assigned a two-person room. 12/X
Due to the sheer number of detainees, some individuals were confined to a 72-person room, where the process was delayed. Pens and paper were not provided. On the 4th day of detention, while filling out paperwork, Mr. A secretly grabbed a pen and paper and began writing in his detention log. 13/X
On the third day of detention, barely holding on, the ICE interview finally began. First, ICE agents handed out "voluntary departure papers" and asked them to sign them. Many detainees, despite feeling uneasy about the document, which was filled with the word "illegal," signed it anyway. 14/X
After a long wait, Mr. A was taken to the interview location, breathing fresh air for the first time in three days. After having his fingerprints taken, two ICE agents examined his documents. Their first question was, "What did you do?" 15/X
Mr. A replied that he was on a business trip for business meetings and training. After that, the agent, who had no other questions, asked if it was 'South Korea', and Mr. A answered that it was. 16/X
Upon hearing this, the employees spoke with smiling expressions and mentioned things like "North Korea" and "Rocket Man" (President Trump's nickname for North Korea's Kim Jong-un). 17/X
