Immigration lawyers are once again suing the Obama administration over its practice of immigrant family detention, arguing the government is violating a federal judge’s ruling prohibiting children from being detained for extended periods of time in jail-like facilities. This comes as ICE is reportedly preparing to launch a month-long campaign of raids aimed at rounding up and deporting undocumented Central American mothers and children. On Wednesday, dozens of mothers detained in the South Texas Family Residential Center wrote a letter to the director of ICE, saying: “We did not leave our countries to live a picture-perfect life in the United States; we fled so that we would not be killed. We came seeking asylum, as is our right, and instead have been subjected to a new hell of detention.”
