Alaska Deportation Flights Spark Outrage Over Cost and Rights Violations
Forty-two men arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement were flown to Alaska for detainment, with forty remaining after two transfers. Held under contract at the Anchorage Correctional Complex, the men are reportedly receiving substandard care, including poor food and medical attention, raising concerns from advocates and attorneys. This unusual move, described as unlike anything seen in a decade by a local attorney, has sparked worries about family contact and access to interpreters. The situation highlights broader concerns about President Trump’s immigration policies and recent escalations in enforcement.
