Court Prohibits DHS from Racial Profiling, Denying Counsel
A court found that the federal government’s ongoing immigration raids in Southern California likely violated the Constitution and prohibited DHS from continuing its unlawful actions in Los Angeles and surrounding counties.
LOS ANGELES – Today, Community Initiatives for Visiting Immigrants in Confinement (CIVIC) — a national group working to end the isolation and abuse of people in immigration detention through visitation — and the ACLU of Southern California (ACLU SoCal), along with other legal service providers and advocates, sent two letters requesting that ICE reinstate community visitation programs immediately.
