Investigation; Prison Services for Immigrants

Our friends at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) are investigating the California prison system’s treatment of people who were born in other countries or who the prison system believes were born in other countries. Specifically, the ACLU is investigating the way the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation places potential immigration/ICE holds on people and then denies programming based on a potential or active ICE hold. If you, a family member, or a friend have ever had a potential ICE hold and need assistance or wish to share your story about this please reach out to them using the information below to request a confidential legal call. They will attempt to set up a call with everyone who reaches out to them, but their ability to do so will depend on the number of people who reach out.   Maricela Sánchez ACLU of Northern California 39 Drumm Street San Francisco, CA 94111 (559) 214-0164
