Washington – Members of the Hispanic Caucus of the Congress promised to make more visits to immigration detection centers across the country on Thursday in order to carry out the Trump government’s approach.
The members described their visits to various detention centers last week last week. Many people who visited them in these centers were arrested in their court hearings during participation or had no criminal records, they said.
“What we and our colleagues experienced was the system that was used to simply punish people as immigrants, and we all know that cruelty is the point for this president,” said the democratic representative of New York, Nydia Velázquez.
The continued supervision of immigration finding centers are only more significant. Members of the All-Democrat Caucus said when congress republicans succeed in adopting a massive tax and expenditure calculation that would augment the financing of immigration by billions, including for prison.
republican move forward With a legislative procedure that is referred to as reconciliation to fulfill President Donald Trump’s priorities without needing 60 votes in the US Senate.
The vow to continue the supervision in detention centers, after three congress democrats have been announced, was addressed last month by US immigration and customs officials in a internment camp in New Jersey. This incident ended with the The mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, arrestedand rep. Lamonica Mciver In the face of federal costs. The indictment against Baraka was released about two weeks later.
“We will not succumb to any intimidation tactics,” said the chairman of CHC, Adriano Espaillat from New York. “We will continue to keep our duty to monitor these detention centers, and we will visit them within the parameters of the law.”
Congress members are allowed to carry out supervisory visits in a facility of the Ministry of Homeland Security, which contains immigrants without prior notice in accordance with the provisions of an appropriation law.
Collateral arrests
The Democratic MP of the state of Washington, Pramila Jayapal, a former chairman of the Congress Progressive Caucus, ruled out the expansion of government contracts by the Trump government with private prison companies for the detention of migrants.
“It is crucial that we continue to investigate congress members what civil prison statements should be, but are active as private profit -oriented prisons with inferior medical care, and they deserve billions of dollars … In contracts of this administration, the people of all legal status,” said Jayapal.
The internment camp in New Jersey was reopened this year and ICE awarded Geo Group Inc. With a contract over 1 billion US dollars to carry out the facility.
Jayapal said when she carried out a supervisory visit to the Tacoma, Washington, Northwest Ice Processing Center, which was previously known as Northwest Detention Center, some of the people who were affected by the immigration authorities who were directed against other people were imprisoned. Such arrests of immigration are referred to as collateral arrests.
She said that a woman with whom she spoke who was imprisoned has been in the country for more than 20 years, but has no enduring legal status.
“She was swept in an attack in the workplace and she was arrested less than a week before getting married with a US citizen,” said Jayapal.
She said that another person she spoke to was a man who has been in the United States for 31 years and is a constant legal resident.
“These are not the worst worst of the worst that Trump said again and again that he would pursue,” said Jayapal. “These are simply people who love this country who have been in this country for decades who are married to US citizens and have US citizens, and do not understand why the country they love would do to them.”
Democratic MP Lou Correa from California said he came across immigrants in detention centers who were arrested in their court hearings during the participation.
“These persons follow the law and show themselves after court hearings and they will be released their distant cases,” he said. “Immediately, if you are abandoned from this courtroom, you will be arrested again and inserted into an accelerated distance process to get you out of the country quickly.”
