“It’s like coercing people into waiving their rights by making the conditions of detention so miserable for them that they prefer to give up” - Activists file a legal case against the US government over its treatment of migrants.
A new lawsuit against Customs and Border Patrol’s is challenging “unacceptable” treatment of detained migrants in southern Texas as US President Donald Trump’s administration escalates a crackdown on both legal and undocumented immigrants.accuses CBP facilities in southern Texas’s Rio Grande Valley region of subjecting “thousands of individuals” to inadequate living conditions.
TCRP legal director Efren Olivares said that the primary goal of the lawsuit is “a court order requiring border patrol not to hold anybody in those facilities for longer than 72 hours” More alarming still, many detainees are pressured to abandon their right to apply for asylum, according to the lawsuit.
That rule permits the government to bar entry or deny green cards to immigrants contingent on their utilisation of public programmes like food stamps or Medicaid. “The way we see this affecting our immigrant community is that it is a scare tactic,” Almanza told TRT World. As the 2020 presidential election campaigning intensifies, Democrats have lashed out at Trump for his administration’s immigration policies.
