In the United States, a monthslong investigation has compiled reports of hundreds of human rights violations at immigration jails nationwide, including physical and sexual abuse, as well as violence against detained children and pregnant women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The probe was led by the office of Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In related news, in New York, new data show ICE has arrested over 2,300 people at federal immigration courthouses and offices since January \u2014 a nearly 200% increase from the months before Trump returned to office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s according to The New York Times, which detailed how immigrants are summoned to court hearings or appointments with federal agents, only to be ambushed and taken into custody. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Advocates have denounced the secrecy surrounding the arrests, and have launched a protest camp in a public park in Manhattan next to ICE\u2019s office and immigration courthouses at 26 Federal Plaza to demand an end to the crackdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Trump administration has launched a pilot program to require some visa applicants to pay bonds of up to $15,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First to be affected are tourists and business travelers from Zambia and Malawi, who will forfeit the payments if they overstay their visas after a maximum of six months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Trump administration says it may amend the program to include other countries. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
