The The Marshall Project reports:
Leave it to the American immigration machine to turn parental love into an instrument of legal extortion. Federal authorities are dragging out the detention of children so long that desperate parents are forced to abandon their legal fights just to hold their kids again.
As children languish in detention, a federal judge threatens to sic an independent watchdog on ICE.
When state agencies use jailed children as bargaining chips to deny due process, it is not a flaw in the system—it is the point.
Help us keep exposing corporate greed. Chip in $5.
