“My name is JLME, I am from Ecuador, I am 39 years old, I have been here for more than a month, I want to go back to my country, the agents of the National Migration Institute insult me, treat me badly, they have me detained, it is like a kidnapping because I cannot communicate with my family. I am locked in here, at night they put padlocks on the doors where we are resting, as if we were criminals. We didn't commit any crime, they deceived us that they were going to help us and then they locked us up."
