From NPR June 6, 2025:
Cuban detainees launch protest at Krome detention center, line up to form SOS signs
Detained immigrants at the notorious Krome Detention Centerconcentration camp in Miami were spotted by a Telemundo news helicopter forming an SOS with their bodies to protest the intolerable conditions they’re being subjected to.
“Please help me. Im desperate.”
The woman who sent it, Maria, was texting about her brother at the Krome Detention Center in Miami. She requested their last name be withheld for fear of retaliation against her brother, who has been held in detention for more than two months.
She told NPR he had a fever, a serious eye infection for almost two weeks, and says he was denied medication for both.
“There are a lot of sick people there, and they aren’t getting medical attention,” she said in a phone interview. “They are sleeping on the floor and sometimes don’t get meals.”
