    The government has a long history demonstrating it’s not capable of holding people in their custody responsibly—and certainly not children.

    "There is a growing trend around addressing the importance of ensuring undocumented drivers are licensed, despite the current political challenges around immigration."

    The 287(g) program has been costly for localities, has not focused on serious criminals, and has harmed the relationship between police and local communities. This fact sheet discusses the many problems associated with it. ⬇️

    As Beth Werlin, Executive Director of says, "Without access to legal counsel or even a confidential space to share their traumatic stories with an asylum officer, asylum seekers are set up to fail."

    Yet another example of why the government is neither willing nor able to hold children in its custody responsibly or humanely. Complaint filed last night on behalf of five-year-old boy subject to physical abuse by immigration jail guard.

    We just filed a complaint with DHS because a five year old was allegedly assaulted by an immigration officer. His deportation must be halted immediately and these allegations investigated.

    This is deliberate cruelty. Here’s what hieleras are like. - Overcrowded cells. - No beds. Just cold concrete floors. Sometimes mats. - No bedding. Just a thin Mylar sheet. - The lights never turn off. Good luck sleeping. - Every meal is a microwaved burrito or baloney sandwich.

    NEW: DHS started a pilot program in El Paso to rush families through asylum screenings and immigration judge reviews in 10 days while they sit in CBP custody. Access to counsel is virtually nonexistent. CBP is no place for people to stay while they fight for their case.

    The new El Paso pilot program to “streamline” cases robs asylum seekers of due process and limits their access to counsel. All asylum seekers deserve a .

    And we know from our research that up to 97 percent of complaints of alleged abuse lodged against Border Patrol agents can result in “No Action Taken.”

    This rushed and hasty process is deliberately designed to frustrate a fair chance to present their cases and instead allows the government to swiftly deport families back to countries where they face grave danger.

    Not only are families subject to inhumane conditions, CBP prohibits lawyers from entering its detention facilities. Without access to legal counsel, asylum seekers are set up to fail.

    "Immigration officials are expanding their use of surveillance technology to collect information on immigrants," notes . "As they gather more tools in their arsenal—from DNA collection to phone tracking devices—privacy concerns also grow."

    This new pilot process in El Paso undermines due process and will lead to many people being returned to dangerous conditions in the countries they sought to flee.

    This is why it's more important than ever to support litigators suing the Trump administration to stop inhumane immigration policies.

    The 287(g) program: • Has been costly for localities. • Has not focused on serious criminals. • Has harmed the relationship between police and local communities.

    🚨 Huge news out of Nevada, & a huge win for immigrants' rights activists. Las Vegas/Clark County quits ICE's prized 287(g) program. One of country's biggest law enforcement departments with a 287(g) contract; it covers most of Nevada. Also ends honoring ICE detention requests.
