Today, the League of Women Voters of Kentucky released Immigration Detention in Kentucky Jails: Who’s in Charge and What to Ask Them. The report is a guide to help the public understand who makes decisions about their county jails, and suggest questions to not only learn about the conditions for immigrants and other detainees in the jails, but to shine light on a system that could potentially obscure Constitutional violations, such as due process.
The report is the second in a series of reports that the League will issue over the next several months to bring transparency and accountability to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detentions in Kentucky county jails.
