'A family detention policy is a policy of adding trauma to trauma,' said one civil rights litigator.
Monday that in addition to restarting family detentions, the Biden administration is"weighing reviving immigration arrests of migrant families within the United States who have been ordered deported."In the place of family detentions, the Biden administration has used ankle bracelets and other methods—decried as"digital prisons" by rights groups—to track migrant families as they move through the court system.
"Instead, following cues from the Obama administration, it converted the contract with Berks County to detain adult women and shifted its usage of the Dilley facility to detain single adults," the organization noted.Monday that the Biden administration is"looking at multiple options for how to handle migrant families at the southern border, not all of them involving family detention.
"Another source familiar with the deliberations added that among the options discussed are some that wouldn't involve detaining families in ICE facilities,"added."This source said that family detentions would be limited to a small number of days—an attempt to set the policy apart from the Trump administration's handling of family detentions.
"A family detention policy is a policy of adding trauma to trauma," Tumlin added."It is painful to see this as a rumored proposal from the Biden administration."
