Cuban asylum seekers fight for their freedom despite ICE’s violation of the Constitution and federal law
LUMPKIN, Ga. – On Friday, January 22, eight Cubans filed a group habeas petition in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, seeking their immediate release from Stewart Detention Center (SDC), an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) prison in Lumpkin, Ga. The petition, filed by attorneys with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild (NIPNLG), is part of a strategy advocating for the release of more than 40 men who have similarly been unlawfully detained at SDC for several months.
“I wanted to make something that truly reflects the wonders of SST.”
And after spending three months abroad, third-year film production major, Eric Miller, did just that after being inspired to create a two-part documentary conveying his memorable trip to Ecuador.
“I remember before embarking on this journey, I knew next to nothing about what you actually do on SST,” Miller said. “There were some videos, but it’s mostly just people talking about it, rather than showing it.”
Titled ‘El Refugio de Ecuador’, Miller’s first documentary captures the chaos that ensued as the coronavirus swept across the globe.
