‼️BIG #DetentionKills news‼️

On May 15, 2017, #DACA holder Jean Jimenez died inside a solitary confinement cell @ ICE's Stewart Detention Ctr in Lumpkin, GA.

Today a federal judge DENIED ICE's attempt to dismiss his family's wrongful death suit, allows the case to proceed.
Jean's mom and step-dad are the first family of someone who died in an ICE prison under this regime to file a wrongful death lawsuit and defeat the government's effort to throw it out of court outright.

Here are some key facts from today's decision: documentcloud.org/documents/7212…
A statement from Jean's family and #DetentionKills partners will be coming soon. But for now, we are overjoyed that the American justice system has determined we can move forward in our quest to obtain #JusticeforJean and to #FreeThemAll
