Amanda Ungaro Details Alleged Inhumane Conditions in ICE Detention
Amanda Ungaro, a Brazilian model with past social ties to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, has publicly described her experience in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody as 'hellish.' In an interview with El País, Ungaro recounted being held in Miami and later transferred to a facility in Louisiana, where she claims she was kept in a hall with over 120 detainees, deprived of sunlight for days, and left 'infested with lice.' Ungaro's arrest in Florida, following an anonymous tip related to a cosmetic clinic, led to her detention despite having no prior criminal record. She was eventually deported to Brazil after being held for over three months. Ungaro's allegations come amid ongoing debates over the Trump administration's immigration policies and detention conditions.
