A Spanish-speaking detainee released a video over the past hour from an immigration detention center at 31 Hopkins Plaza in Baltimore, Maryland, claiming immigration authorities held legal and undocumented individuals for more than 10 days without bathing, subjected them to beatings including an older man, and caused hunger, according to an X post by @EdKrassen. The detainee stated in Spanish: "Look at how they have us here. Look at how immigration is treating us. There are people here who are legal, there are people who are not legal, there are people who are losing their families. They are kidnapping us. They have us in a warehouse here in Baltimore. They beat us, they beat an older man. We can’t take it anymore. They have kept us here for more than 10 days without bathing and enduring hunger." In related immigration enforcement developments during the same period, U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff called on Republican colleagues to reject "police state tactics" as a growing number of Republicans seek a robust investigation into the fatal shooting of a demonstrator by ICE agents in Minnesota, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution article shared by @bluestein on X. The Minnesota incident connects to earlier reports where the Minnesota Department of Corrections launched a website countering Department of Homeland Security claims about the operation that killed Alex Pretti, highlighting statements by Gregory Bovino. Separately, a Roll Call article referenced on X by @nielslesniewski notes the Senate's return on January 26, 2026, facing a possible partial government shutdown, with options available between full shutdown and passing all funding bills.
