Detention and Deportation: A Moral Crisis

This chapter critically examines the treatment of detained individuals, particularly those wrongfully held during the asylum process, and warns of the potential for authoritarianism under the current administration. It highlights a disturbing U.S. plan to deport citizens to El Salvador and discusses the implications of a $6 million prison contract amidst systemic judicial failures. By investigating the complex interplay of immigration policy, individual stories, and governmental accountability, the chapter raises urgent questions about justice and human rights.
