Immigrant Detention Update

(updated)

Developments since my earlier post on U.S. immigrant detention facilities:

- A recap on the current situation from IntLawGrrls: "Humanizing Immigration Detention"

- A note from Human Rights First on an "Important Detention Reform Bill Introduced Last Week in Senate"

- A NYT article announcing "U.S. to Reform Policy on Detention for Immigrants"

- A statement on ImmigrationProf Blog re. "Improvements in Immigrant Detention?"

- And another: "ICE Announcement on Detention: Smoke and Mirrors?"

More generally, check out the International Detention Coalition's "Compendium of international law, standards and guidelines related to the detention of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants."
