NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights (RFKHR), American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana (ACLU-LA), and New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU), today filed five Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to obtain records from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regarding policies and practices within the New Orleans ICE Field Office (NOLA ICE). Responsible for immigration detention centers across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and Tennessee, NOLA ICE has a documented history of human rights and civil rights abuses within its facilities, including physical abuse, unsafe release practices, lack of access to language services, unlawful use of solitary confinement, and inadequate medical care.

Key Points:

"The culture of abuse and scale of rampant impunity within the NOLA ICE Field Office is unlike anything we've seen in immigration detention," said Sarah Decker, staff attorney at Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights.
"Our clients and community members have been denied access to life-saving medication, physically beaten, and sexually assaulted.
When they have spoken out about this mistreatment, ICE has locked them in solitary confinement for weeks in retaliation.
"NOLA ICE's treatment of people in its detention facilities is inhumane and unacceptable," said Amy Belsher, Director of Immigrant Rights' Litigation at the New York Civil Liberties Union.
