Illinois no longer holds immigrant detainees at local jails after the last two counties that had federal agreements to house them cleared facilities earlier this month under a state law
Illinois no longer holds immigrant detainees at local jails after the last two counties that had agreements with federal authorities to house them cleared facilities earlier this month.
Dozens of remaining detainees left the two county jails this month, according to authorities. In winding down federal contracts in recent weeks, some detainees were deported while others were released to their families or transferred to facilities in nearby states including Indiana while they await court hearings.
“Although we are here demanding releases in Illinois, we want to make it clear that our demands are not for our state alone,” Veronica Castro, deputy director at the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, said in a statement.
