ACLU, Others File FOIA Request with Immigration Agency
ACLU, Others File FOIA Request with Immigration Agency
By Martha Dalton
The Georgia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, along with some immigrants’ rights groups, has filed a “Freedom of Information Act” request with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The request asks for information related to two immigration enforcement programs in Georgia. Azadeh Shashahani, with the Georgia ACLU, says they want information about Secure Communities and 287 (g).
“Who’s getting deported?" Shashahani says, "How many people are getting picked up and facing deportation proceedings? What is the reason people are getting picked up in the first place?”
Both programs partner federal agencies with local law enforcement to crack down on crime committed by illegal immigrants. Critics say the programs lead to racial profiling. ICE declined WABE’s request for an interview. However, a spokesperson said 287(g) has been suspended in other jurisdictions where racial profiling occurred.
