Immigrants' Rights and Detention
ÌÒ×ÓÊÓƵv. ICE, DHS, CBP and DOJ -- Mass Detention and Deportation FOIA
Every year, ICE and other federal agencies spend billions of taxpayer dollars on a system to detain and deport immigrants. The people detained in this system face persistent medical neglect, abuse, and other violations. This system—and the harms it causes—could expand dramatically if a future presidential administration were to implement mass detention and deportations. We’ve sued to obtain information about how this system operates.
