Introduction
A federal judge in Manhattan is considering extending or expanding his previous order regarding conditions at a New York City immigration detention center. The judge expressed concerns about the testimony of a senior ICE official, who gave 'egregiously misleading' testimony about the number of people in custody.
Background
The judge had previously ruled that ICE must improve conditions at the center. However, the judge expressed concerns that the ICE official's testimony did not reflect the true state of affairs.
Implications
The judge's decision could have significant implications for conditions at immigration detention centers across the US. If the judge decides to extend or expand his order, it could lead to improved conditions for thousands of people being held in these centers.
What to do next
- Appeal to Board of Immigration Appeals — Order
- Cancellation of Removal for Lawful Permanent Residents — Order
