Record Rise in Immigrant Detentions During Trump Administration
Immigrant detentions have surged by 50%, reaching a record high under the Trump administration, largely attributed to the support from Republican governors. ICE facilities are filling up as enforcement ramps up, utilizing secret sites, private prisons, and new camps. The situations in these detention centers have raised concerns, prompting calls for humane treatment and support for detainees, including advocacy from local communities for those held in Western Louisiana. Amidst a complex legal landscape surrounding immigration detention, the issue remains a significant focus of debate.
