Donald Trump’s administration is shuttling hundreds of immigrants between U.S. detention centers every month, a practice that their advocates have slammed as a way to keep detainees locked in a byzantine, cross-country jail complex to prevent them from defending themselves in court.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement carried out more than 1,400 domestic flights from detention center to detention center in July and August, averaging more than 700 flights each month, according to data from immigration watchdog group Witness at the Border.
