U.S. moves immigration inmates without notice
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- U.S. Immigration officials were under fire Sunday for moving detainees from a California immigration detention center to other states without warning.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency did not release the number of detainees moved, nor did it release their whereabouts, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The American Civil Liberties Union said more than 100 detainees were moved Saturday from the Terminal Island facility to various facilities in the southern United States.
Their attorneys -- caught by surprise -- were stymied in their efforts to find their clients.
ACLU attorney Ahilan Arulanantham called the move "a serious injustice by the government" and predicted many trial delays will result.
