What are the rights of individuals detained by ICE?

Asked a year ago
Individuals detained by ICE have certain rights, although they may vary depending on their immigration status. Detainees have the right to communicate with a representative, contact their consulate, and access legal counsel. They are entitled to receive medical care, have access to food and water, and be housed in safe conditions. Detainees also have the right to be free from discrimination or abuse, and they can file a complaint if their rights are violated. Additionally, individuals have the right to engage in religious practices as long as they don't interfere with facility operations. However, it's important to consult with an immigration attorney to fully understand the specific rights and options available to detained individuals, as immigration laws can be complex.
