Trump administration border czar Tom Homan says he made an unannounced visit to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility and had lunch with detainees after hearing complaints about the quality of the food served.Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Homan said he wanted to see for himself whether the food at the facility was really that bad. Homan said he ate the same food as the prisoners and quickly became full.He said: “I turned up unannounced to eat lunch on a Saturday because I was told the food was bad. So I sat in the cafeteria with the detainees – and of course I had my security with me to make sure there were no problems. I had the same food, the same tray as they had because when I was eating I saw what they were eating – exactly the same, exactly the same.’Homan described what was being served: “Ate spaghetti and meat sauce, ate green beans, burnt beans, rolls and butter, had fruit drink, and I think it was cake for dessert but I didn’t eat dessert.”He said the portion size was more than enough for him: “But this… I’m no small man. I couldn’t finish it all.”Homan’s comments come amid long-running complaints from detainees, Democrats and advocacy groups about the food conditions inside ICE detention centers. Over the years, detainees have claimed that food was inadequate, spoiled or poorly prepared. Some people have claimed that they experienced starvation, weight loss, or illness while in detention. Recent complaints at facilities in several states include allegations of food shortages, inedible food and contaminated food. Some detainees have also reported finding insects in food served in detention centres.Previous inspections by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General also identified concerns at some facilities, including expired and moldy food, spoiled meat and unsafe food-handling practices.During a tour of an ICE facility in California, Congressman Ro Khanna said that detainees told him they were served food laced with stones and described poor living conditions and inadequate access to medical care. Khanna said he was “horrified” by what he heard from the detainees. Additionally, social media users called the interview ICE propaganda and said that detained immigrants do not actually get to eat what Homan described.
