“A BROKEN SYSTEM.” An immigrant-rights group investigated the rapidly-growing immigrant detention system and found that the conditions in which immigrant detainees are held are as bad or worse than those faced by imprisoned criminals. Immigrants have no access to legal advice or due process. The leader of the sponsoring group talks about this report (“A Broken System”) and other current affairs.
