An Illinois federal judge recently ruled that NIJC could proceed with its lawsuit challenging the U.S. government’s use of immigration detainers. Detainers instruct local police to hold suspects until being picked up by ICE, often indefinitely, and sometimes even U.S. citizens. Mark Fleming, NIJC's national litigation coordinator, talked about the lawsuit and what this new development means. Listen to the segment.
NIJC has a new Chicago address at 111 W. Jackson Blvd, Suite 800, Chicago, IL 60604 and a new email domain at @immigrantjustice.org.
