"[Customs and Border Protection] was struggling to maintain hygienic conditions in the holding cells. With limited access to showers and clean clothing, detainees were wearing soiled clothing for days or weeks," the report said. "We also observed detainees standing on toilets in the cells to make room and gain breathing space, thus limiting access to the toilets."

It determined that the agency should “take immediate steps to alleviate the overcrowding at the El Paso Del Norte Processing Center.” The agency concurred with the report's finding.
