Five detainees in immigration custody were sent to facilities in Nevada after speaking with media, including the Union-Tribune, in what activists say is a pattern of retaliatory transfers
Weeks after writing an op-ed for the Union-Tribune about his experience in immigration custody, Erik Mercado, an detainee at Otay Mesa Detention Center, was suddenly moved to a different facility in the middle of the night.
last week with the Department of Homeland Security Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties alleging that their transfers were retaliation for their activism while in immigration custody. The sudden move of these five detainees appears to be part of a larger pattern of retaliatory transfers that attempt to silence people in immigration custody who try to raise awareness about conditions, according to the organization Freedom For Immigrants, which works to end immigration detention.
“The dedicated professionals at our Otay Mesa Detention Center work to provide immigration detainees a variety of services from comprehensive medical and mental health care to faith-based support and access to legal resources while they prepare for the next steps in their immigration process,” said Brian Todd, public affairs manager for CoreCovic.
