The final release comes after the filing of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus & class action lawsuit against ICE, the prison corporation LaSalle, Dr. Amin, as well as the then-director of the Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, and other officials. #ShutDownIrwin
We are thrilled about freedom of women who suffered so much while detained at Irwin. This is only the first step in the path towards justice. Survivors of medical abuse must receive redress for the harm they suffered. We won't rest until this horrid facility is shut down!
.@ProjectSouth is co-counsel in the class action lawsuit on behalf of survivors of medical abuse, along with @NIPNLG, @ColumbiaLaw Immigrants' Rights Clinic, @ddreyer, and several other law school clinics. #ShutDownIrwin
