The surge in voluntary departures continues, per @katielang.bsky.social. More and more detained immigrants are requesting to leave so they can escape what are prison-like conditions facing people who have often never been arrested or detained before.
A Durango father and his two children arrested by federal immigration agents who thought they were someone else have agreed to leave the United States because of the trauma they have experienced in detention, advocates said Wednesday night.
Durango father, children arrested by ICE agree to leave the country, advocates say
The “mental, physical, and emotional trauma they have endured has left them unable to continue fighting their case,” advocates said.
