Según un memo interno obtenido por Reuters, la administración de Donald Trump está ordenando a los agentes de inmigración que rastreen a cientos de miles de niños inmigrantes que entraron en los Estados Unidos sin sus padres, ampliando el esfuerzo de deportación masiva del presidente.
Akima, el conglomerado que gestiona el centro de detención de Guantánamo, tiene más de 40 empresas filiales y más de 2.000 contratos con docenas de agencias federales, que van desde el mantenimiento informático hasta la seguridad armada.
La primera ley firmada por el presidente Donald Trump en su segundo mandato amplía el tipo de delitos por los algunos inmigrantes pueden ser arrestados y detenidos sin opción a libertad bajo fianza —incluso si no han sido condenados.
The first law signed by President Donald Trump in his second term expands the type of crimes for which noncitizens can be arrested and detained without the option for release on bond—even if they haven’t been convicted of a crime.
A pesar de que estos temores han resurgido con la segunda administración Trump, el mensaje de los defensores, abogados y centros de salud es claro e inequívoco: la atención médica siempre es una prioridad y el tratamiento no debe detenerse.
While these concerns have resurfaced under the second Trump administration, the message from advocates, lawyers, and health centers is clear and unequivocal: health is always a priority and treatment should not be stopped.
Como resultado de las elecciones de 2024, los republicanos ganaron el control de ambas cámaras del Congreso, y para pasar este proyecto de ley, 46 demócratas de la Cámara de Representantes y 12 demócratas del Senado apoyaron la medida.
“With as much urgency as possible, the City Council must pass Intro. 214 to ensure that city agencies face consequences for conspiring with ICE. Anything less will result in historic levels of unwarranted expulsions of immigrant New Yorkers.”
“As we go into an election year, it is vital that New York prioritize passing legislation that will protect immigrants across our state, like the Dignity not Detention Act, and stop using our resources to detain immigrants.”
According to ICE’s detention management tool, 55 immigrants are detained at the upstate New York jail. Nahum Ortiz, one of the plaintiffs, says ICE is only renting one of the jail’s wings. “The ICE wing shouldn’t be treating us the same way as criminals. We’re not waiting for our sentencing, but we get the same treatment.”
