Immigration Clinic: Ice and Detainees

immigration clinic: The suit asks a federal judge to prevent ICE from making another attempt at deporting the detainees, according to Metro News. The suit says ICE agents shackled the Somali immigrants for nearly 48 hours during their trip. The University of Miami School of Law's Immigration Clinic filed the class-action lawsuit Tuesday. It also says agents physically attacked some detainees and put others in straitjackets, adding deportees were denied access to a bathroom. An email seeking comment from ICE wasn't immediately returned. Attorneys for the detainees say they face the danger of being targeted by the anti-American, anti-Western terrorist group Al Shabaab if they return to Somalia. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
