A lawsuit filed in state court alleges California's corrections agency routinely refers inmates who appear to be 'foreign-born' to federal immigration authorities even if they are U.S. citizens.
California's corrections agency routinely refers inmates who appear to be"foreign-born" to federal immigration authorities even if they are U.S. citizens and lawful residents, with some improperly detained by the government for weeks after their sentences, said a lawsuit filed in state court Thursday.
Lawyers representing former and current inmates said in a news release announcing the lawsuit that California's policies and practices target immigrants and refugees based on place of birth, race and other prohibited classifications. Corrections officials also flagged another plaintiff, Anouthinh"Choy" Pangthong, to ICE even though he is a U.S. citizen born in a refugee camp. He spent nearly 19 years in prison fearing deportation and needed an attorney to remove the federal hold, the complaint states.
