The First 100 Days: Biden on Immigration Detention
This blog is the first in a three-part series from the Immigration Justice Campaign.
Reflecting on his release from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, Thomas, a man who fled near-death in Cameroon, said:
“I will always remember that day, it felt like Christmas day. I was overwhelmed with joy, it felt like the darkness had finally been lifted. I had dreamed of my freedom for so long and now I was finally given a fresh start.”
Thomas spent 18 months in ICE detention when he could have been pursuing his claim for asylum in the United States from the home of a sponsor. Unfortunately, Thomas’ story is far from unique.

CHICAGO (WLS) A coalition of public defenders from across the country, including Cook County Public Defender Amy Campanelli, are demanding that the incoming Biden Administration take action on immigration reform. I can imagine many of my clients who are sitting over there facing a criminal case are very fearful of deportation based on if they get convicted, Campanelli said.
The Public Defenders Coalition for Immigrant Justice put forth a 10-point plan that includes calling for a one-year moratorium on deportations, pathways to lawful immigration status, ending immigration detention, defunding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
and a federally-funded universal representation program.
