ACLU Calls On DHS To Close ICE Detention Centers, Citing High Cost Of Empty Beds
at 1:25 pm NPR
The American Civil Liberties Union is urging the Biden administration to close dozens of immigration detention facilities across the country, citing the historically low number of immigrants in detention and the high cost of paying for empty beds.
In a letter sent Wednesday to the Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the ACLU calls for the closure of 39 Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities.
The agency oversees a nationwide detention network of more than 200 facilities. The ACLU targeted some of them for downsizing because of allegations of detainee abuse at those facilities, limited access to lawyers and medical care, or inadequate justification for opening them.
