Immigrant Detention Grows Amid Legal and Moral Questions
U S immigration authorities held about 32 000 detainees on Jan 25 with 18 690 lacking criminal records and nearly 400 jailed over a year. The system expanded since the 1990s, drawing scrutiny from lawyers and detainees including a former honors student and a Florida clergy member. ICE says detention ensures court appearance and enforcement, while critics note many detainees have no legal representation and are not required to be in removal proceedings.
