14 Aug 2008As more and more ICE raids occur across the country, their is a growing concern with what is happening with people after they are detained and locked up especially with more and more prisoners of ICE ending up dead.
The latest case to come to light is that of Hui Liu Ng. By all accounts was trying fulfill the “American dream”. He had a job in the Empire State Building, had a home in Queens, had a wife who was a U.S. citizen and two children born and raised here. Why was he detained? He had a work permit and a pending asylum application that was denied. He also had a separate green card application.

The second phase of a nightmare was about to begin.
