Fil-Am Assemblyman na kasama sa mga nagtangkang mag-inspeksyon sa ICE facility, hinuli
Filipino American New York State Assembly Member Steven Raga was arrested along with other elected officials while attempting to inspect an immigration detention facility at Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan.
The group of officials sought to conduct oversight following a U.S. District Court order mandating improved conditions for detainees at the facility.
Assembly Member Raga stated that ICE is allegedly starving detainees, denying them medical care, and holding them in inhumane, cage-like conditions.
New York State Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas confirmed that they were arrested when trying to access the 10th floor, where the detention facility is located, to ensure compliance with the court's ruling.
