People who fled violence are being rushed through a system that is supposed to protect them. Rushing hearings denies people the time they need to prepare and strips them of due process.

❌ This is unacceptable! ❌

Detaining immigrants on a hidden floor to avoid a judge’s order undermines the law and endangers human beings. ICE must be held accountable. 🚫🧊
