Eunice Cho (‘10), Senior Staff Attorney at the ACLU National Prison Project, authored an article on aclu.org discussing a new Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General report highlighting ICE’s failure to control the spread of COVID-19 in detention and urging the immediate release of vulnerable detainees (“DHS Watchdog Confirms: ICE is Failing to Protect Detained People From COVID,” June 29). “ICE continues to claim it is adequately protecting people in its custody from COVID. A new report shows how patently untrue that is. … ICE must quickly act to release people from detention, including those who are medically vulnerable to COVID-19. This is the only way to prevent certain death — of detained people, ICE staff, and people in the communities they return home to.”
