Project South along with Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Atlanta (@advancing_justice_atl) and the ACLU of Georgia (@acluofga) have filed a lawsuit against ICE under the Freedom of Information Act.

We’re seeking records about the agency’s plans to expand immigration detention in Georgia and its use of the Atlanta ICE Field Office to detain immigrants. 🔗 Download + read the full press release: bit.ly/ICEFOIA26 (or see link in our bio) From Priyanka Bhatt, Project South’s Senior Staff Attorney: “It is appalling that ICE is going to such lengths to hide the truth. The public deserves to know about the inhumane conditions inside the Atlanta ICE Field Office holding cells where reports indicate individuals are held for days without proper food, beds, medical care, or access to counsel. ICE must be held accountable for all its destructive and deadly policies. We hope that this FOIA lawsuit will be the first step toward transparency and eventual accountability.”
