Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

Increase in detentions and COVID on immigrants

What is the increase in detentions and what is the danger for immigrants? Today we are going to explain these two details that are very important because they are affecting a gigantic number of people.

When President Trump's administration ended, there were only 15,000 people in detention, now there are over 21,000, almost 50% more. In other words, there is a huge increase in the midst of the pandemic and of the great contamination that has occurred with the Coronavirus. COVID cases have increased over 625% in immigrants in Detention Centers. They are endangering the lives of immigrants.

Immigrant advocacy groups are calling on Immigration to release detained immigrants and to electronically monitor them.. They can perfectly well put them in an electronic shackle and monitor their movements, just as there are already more than 157,000 people they are monitoring electronically. Why don't they release these 21,000 to monitor them in the same way and not put their lives in danger with the huge contamination of Covid-19 cases for people in detention?

It is considered a anti-immigrant stance to keep these people in detention. These are the kinds of things we are concerned about in this administration. Therefore, if you do not have your papers in order, it is very important that we look for a solution together, so that we do not have a danger of detention or of being in a jail where there can be a high level of contamination. For all these reasons we see that we have no other option but to take immediate action, if we can. we do not have our papers in order.
