DRA Fights for Immediate COVID-19 Protections for People in Immigration Detention Centers
Today DRA, in conjunction with a coalition of civil rights legal organizations, filed an emergency application for a preliminary injunction in federal court mandating Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) take immediate steps to protect medically vulnerable people in immigration detention facilities from COVID-19, including conducting reviews to determine who can be released.
The preliminary injunction was requested as part of DRA's class action lawsuit, Fraihat v. ICE, on behalf of the nearly 40,000 people held in ICE detention facilities nationwide.
