Georgia Gov Kemp Dismantles Immigration Enforcement Board
Azadeh Shahshahani of Project South credits years of grassroots organizing for Georgia’s move to abolish the Immigration Enforcement Review Board. The board, created in 2011 to handle complaints over local anti immigrant enforcement, faced abuse and due process concerns and was dissolved after pressure from Decatur and allies. The case followed a high profile complaint by then lieutenant governor Casey Cagle and resulted in a $12,000 costs settlement to Decatur and greater board transparency.
