What's at Stake

Our immigration detention system locks up hundreds of thousands of immigrants unnecessarily every year, exposing detainees to brutal and inhumane conditions of confinement at massive costs to American taxpayers. Recently, mothers and children, who are mainly asylum seekers fleeing violence in Central America, have been detained in family detention centers.

The lock em up approach to detention is contrary to common sense and our fundamental values. In America, liberty should be the norm for everyoneand detention the last resort.
