The National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) filed a complaint on behalf of a woman in Louisiana who says has for over a year been experiencing "severe abuse and life-threatening conditions in immigration detention" under Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, including sexual assault.
The complaint requests the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL) to investigate the reported abuses, including violations of disability rights, and recommends that the individual, identified as A.R. for identity protection, be immediately released so that she can pursue her immigration case "from a safe and healthy environment."
