Former Fellow Ellen Gallagher (’91) wrote an article for The Washington Post about ICE’s use of solitary confinement to punish detainees (“The Other Problem With ICE Detention: Solitary Confinement,” Aug. 28). “The administration’s apparent commitment to knowingly traumatizing children to deter immigration across the U.S.-Mexico border has been a growing source of civic and congressional outrage,” Ellen wrote. “DHS and ICE are also traumatizing migrants behind closed doors. This is occurring through a more insidious form of abuse — the use of prolonged solitary confinement.”
