Activists Warn Bangladeshi Asylum Seekers May Be Deported En Masse
MARCH 25, 2016 HEADLINES
Immigrant rights activists say authorities have begun transporting a group of Bangladeshi Muslim asylum seekers to Arizona in advance of a mass deportation.
Many of the detained men participated in a series of hunger strikes in 2015 to protest their ongoing detention by ICE, the Immigration Customs and Enforcement agency.
Some of the men have been detained for years. The men came to the United States seeking asylum, saying they were escaping repressive conditions in Bangladesh.
Linda Sarsour, the director of MPower Change, said, "While many have rightfully condemned the anti-Muslim rhetoric spewed during ongoing presidential campaigns, our current policies are just as terrifying."
