Releasing immigration detainees from custody based on unsupported suspicion that they might be exposed to the CCP virus while incarcerated unnecessarily exposes Americans to great risk, a panel discussion by the nonpartisan Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) heard.
There are reportedly almost 40,000 individuals in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, and activists want them released, ostensibly to reduce their exposure to the contagion. In recent weeks, federal judges across the country have been releasing ICE detainees on the theory that they are safer outside detention centers from the CCP virus, often called novel coronavirus.
