The ACLU of Georgia has released a 182 page report charging the Obama administration with serious human and constitutional rights violations in immigration detention facilities in the State of Georgia.
The report "Prisoners of Profit" is dedicated to the memory of Roberto Medina Martinez (1969-2009) and all immigrants who have perished in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The ACLU found that ICE’s aggressive “Operation Endgame” goal of deporting all removable aliens by 2012 has overloaded the already overcrowded immigration court dockets, and immigrant detainees’ due process rights are being violated, both in immigration court and at the detention facilities.
The report highlights the following concerns relating to:
How many reports need to be released before this administration takes steps to eliminate the human rights violations that are a hallmark of the immigration detention system.
I'm sure it will be a "top priority" for the administration if Obama wins a second term.
Pathetic.
