A federal watchdog report reveals that around 80 detained immigrants were briefly held in small metal cells. These cells were labeled as "relaxation zones" and had an area of approximately 1.6 square meters. The detainees were kept in these cells for periods ranging from a few minutes to almost 2 hours.

The report was issued after an inspection of a detention center in January. The inspector general noted that this practice was unusual and did not meet standards. Further details about the findings are available in the report.
