More than 100 migrants detained by ICE are being held at the same Brooklyn jail where Sean "Diddy" Combs and Luigi Mangione are being held. 

There are concerns about the conditions inside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

"This is dangerous. It's lawless. And it's unacceptable," Rep. Dan Goldman said at a news conference in front of the facility. "They are community members who deserve to be treated with dignity."

Goldman has not been granted access into the facility as of yet, but according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Department of Homeland Security has begun transferring detainees to the MDC. 

State Senator Andrew Gounardes says the MDC has been marred with lawsuits and protests, alleging poor conditions inside. 

"Federal judges have called this building behind us barbaric," Gounardes said. "We save that term for conditions that are beyond the pale."

The Federal Bureau of Prison responded to CBS News New York's inquiry about the allegations made about the conditions in the facility. 

"The BOP takes seriously our duty to protect the individuals entrusted in our custody, as well as maintain the safety of correctional employees and the community. We make every effort to ensure the physical safety and health of the individuals confined to our facilities through a controlled environment that is secure and humane," it said.

The Department of Homeland Security also responded with a statement. 

"Any claim that there is a lack of food or subprime conditions at ICE detention centers are false. ICE has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens. All detainees are provided with proper meals, medical treatment, and have opportunities to communicate with their family members and lawyers. Ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of individuals in our custody is a top priority at ICE. Meals are certified by dieticians. Ensuring the safety, security, and well-being of individuals in our custody is a top priority at ICE," it read in part.

Metropolitan Dentention Center has previously been subject to scrutiny

The facility has housed high-profile inmates such as Combs, R. Kelly, Mangione and Sam Bankman-Fried

In March, federal officials charged 25 people allegedly involved in smuggling and violence at the facility. 

"What is broken here is not our people. What is broken is the system," Mixteca executive director Lorena Kourousias said. 

Detainments and deportations have spiked since President Trump took office and implemented new policy. CBS News polling from June shows a majority of Americans support deportations, but a new poll from Gallup this week shows that a record high 79% of Americans believe immigration is a good thing.
