ACLU Sues Homeland Security Over Information Regarding Immigrant Detainees and Deaths

07:52 H | Topics: Immigration

Last week the ACLU filed a Freedom of Information lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for refusing to
turn over public documents related to the deaths of dozens of immigrant
detainees. The lawsuit requests that the court order DHS to carry out a reasonable records search and speed up the processing of documents. The ACLU’s legal action arises from alleged government abuses connected to the deaths of immigrants held in various detention facilities in the United States. The deaths were reportedly due to medical neglect.

Also named in the lawsuit were the Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) agency and the DHS Office of the Inspector General.
