The ACLU has settled its lawsuit alleging federal agents crammed immigrants in an unsanitary temporary holding center in Los Angeles for up to 20 straight hours without beds or drinking water.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California announced Wednesday the agreement prohibits detainees in the B-18 center from being held for more than 12 hours on any given day or over two consecutive days, with some exceptions. The center is underneath a sprawling downtown federal building.

The settlement stems from a lawsuit filed in April claiming U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement routinely detained immigrants in "barbaric" conditions.

ICE says the settlement reaffirms its commitment to ensuring the well-being of its detainees.

The Mexican Civil Liberties Union...

The Alien Civil Liberties Union.

I just saw an interview with Lou Dobbs and Anthony Romero. I was amazed when I first saw Mr. Romero. His facial expressions and movements appear to indicate he is unstable, almost like he is "high" on something. Why, if he is the head of the "AMERICAN Civil Liberties Union", is he NOT defending the rights of the citizens of his own country in this illegal issue??? I say Mr. Romero should move to Mexico. His acts regarding illegals, in my personal opinion, are those of a traitor. BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
