ACLU Urges Biden to Shut Down Detention Facilities ‘Used to Abuse and Traumatize Immigrants’

The ACLU is urging the Biden administration to shut down over three dozen Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities in light of decreasing numbers of people detained and human rights concerns.

“The Biden administration was elected with a mandate to fix our broken immigration system, and immigrant detention is an early test of its resolve,” Naureen Shah, senior advocacy and policy counsel at the ACLU, said in a statement.
