Coalition Letter Calling for Phase-Out of Detention, Beginning with Ten Facilities
Published
The American Immigration Council joined other organizations in calling on President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Secretary Mayorkas to phase-out immigration detention, beginning with the closure of ten specific facilities. The letter urges the Biden administration to release all individuals detained in the facilities without placing them in surveillance programs, and to halt all efforts to expand capacity for the detention of immigrants.
Help us fight for immigration justice!
The research is clear – immigrants are more likely to win their cases with a lawyer by their side. But very few can get attorneys.
Introducing the Immigration Justice Campaign Access Fund.
Your support sends attorneys, provides interpreters, and delivers justice.
Immigration Justice Campaign is an initiative of American Immigration Council and American Immigration Lawyers Association. The mission is to increase free legal services for immigrants navigating our complicated immigration system and leverage the voices and experiences of those most directly impacted by our country’s immigration policies to inform legal and advocacy strategies. We bring together a broad network of volunteers who provide legal assistance and advocate for due process for immigrants with a humane approach that includes universal legal representation and other community-based support for individuals during their immigration cases.
