Coalition Urges Biden Administration To Use Alternatives to Detention As Title 42 Is Lifted

The American Immigration Council joined a coalition of 232 organizations calling on the Biden administration to create a more humane immigration system by ensuring asylum seekers and other migrants are not placed behind bars in immigration detention as Title 42 is lifted. In an open statement, the organizations urged the administration to never detain families, to end privatized immigration detention, and ensure that people seeking safety can pursue their cases while living in communities in the United States rather than being subjected to inhumane detention and surveillance.
