The practice of family detention was escalated under the Obama Administration in 2014, and continues with increasing brutality under Trump’s overt policy of white supremacy targeting migrant families.
Detention Watch Network is a coalition of international, national, regional and local organizations working to protect and defend immigrants and refugees from detention and deportation, to advocate for families and children in DHS/ICE custody and detention centers, to end US policies of ethnic cleansing under the Obama and Trump administrations and enact protective immigration policies.
