The ICE wing of the Allen Parish jail has the longest average stay of any immigration detention center in Louisiana. It has faced serious allegations of mistreatment and racist abuse of detainees. Advocates say “it's where people go to disappear.”
Critical reporting from @delaneynolan.bsky.social
Louisiana has more ICE lockups than almost any other state. Now as a surge in habeas petitions overloads courts, people are held “unfathomably” long without recourse.
