U.N. Rights Expert To Probe U.S. Treatment of Illegals
U.N. rights expert to probe U.S. treatment of illegal immigrants
GENEVA A United Nations human rights expert comes to the United States later this month to investigate a highly criticized Central Texas center for detained immigrant families.
Jorge (HOHR'-hay Bustamante is the U-N Human Rights Council's independent expert on migrant rights.
A U-N spokesman says the Mexican national will visit the T. Don Hutto facility in Taylor, Texas, which typically houses about 400 non-criminal immigrants awaiting deportation or other outcomes to their immigration cases.
He'll also examine two border areas where U-S officials have announced a crackdown on Mexicans illegally crossing the border. He'll discuss migrant issues with U-S government officials, campaign groups and immigrants during the mission, which includes a stop in Austin.
Bustamante's findings will be presented to the 47-nation rights council at its next session in June.
The U-S government is facilitating the visit from April 30th to May 18th.
