Opinion: Legal status offers no protection from ICE mistreatment
['Sonya L Williams']
San Diego Union-Tribune
At Pathways to Citizenship, we work every day with families navigating the legal immigration system.
When ICE wrongfully detains a person, especially someone with lawful status on a clear legal path, there is no automatic review, no public accounting, and no meaningful remedy.
And it erodes the integrity of a complex legal immigration system that already demands patience, resources, and faith from those navigating it.
Until ICE is held accountable for wrongful detentions and inhumane conditions, stories like this will continue.
And every person pursuing the American promise through legal means will be left wondering whether doing everything right is enough to keep them safe.
