Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms Stops Local Jails From Taking Ice Detainees

Feeling Rebloggy

New immigrants detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will no longer be held in Atlanta, after the city’s mayor signed an executive order prohibiting the city’s jail from accepting ICE detainees, The Atlanta Journal-Constitutionreported. Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms’s executive order was signed the same day that President Trump signed an executive order to keep detained families together (possibly in custody indefinitely). Amnesty International warned that immigration detentions could now be indefinite as a result of Trump’s executive order
