We know that there are hundreds of other migrants, undocumented workers, people that are residents that have temporary permits to be here have also been detained. "We also know that our Constitution provides due process for all persons, citizens and non-citizens alike.""
"Congress heard from individuals detained during the field hearing, with some alleging mistreatment, a lack of due process and abuse.

Detainees reported mistreatment, traumatic arrests, lack of due process, abuse, sexual harassment, and medical neglect, particularly affecting LGBTQ+ immigrants.
