Last month, immigrant rights groups filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security after women who were held in immigration detention at Stewart Detention Center accused a nurse of sexual assault.
Now, those groups are asking Georgia’s house delegates to join Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in asking the Department of Homeland Security to investigate.
“It should be obvious to anybody that Stewart is no place to hold any human being,” said Azadeh Shahshahani, the legal and advocacy director for Project South, one of the organizations who filed the initial complaint. “It should be shut down as soon as possible.”
