about Immigrants' Rights

ICE and CBP are smashing their way not only through car windows but also through any constraints on the use of face recognition

Seven people detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sued the Trump administration over inhumane conditions at California’s largest immigration detention center, the privately owned California City Detention Facility located in Kern County. The lawsuit, Gomez Ruiz, et al. v. ICE, was filed in the U.S. District Court of Northern California and seeks to redress violations of the First Amendment, Fifth Amendment, and the Rehabilitation Act. The plaintiffs are represented by the Prison Law Office, Keker Van Nest & Peters LLP, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the California Collaborative for Immigrant Justice.

As immigration enforcement expands nationwide, the Trump administration is replacing nearly half of top leaders at ICE field offices across the country with Border Patrol, an agency long criticized for its culture of cruelty and lack of accountability.
