Illegal Immigrants To Be Held In Former Hotels
Nursing homes would also be used as Napolitano aims to reform detention
Oct . 6, 2009
WASHINGTON - Illegal immigrants awaiting deportation would be confined according to the risk they may pose under a new plan being proposed by the homeland security secretary.
Former hotels, nursing homes and other sites would be used to hold nonviolent, non-criminal immigrants as part of a larger plan to reform immigration detention, according to documents obtained Monday by The Associated Press. The alternative sites are intended to cut the costs of detaining immigrants, which reached nearly $2 billion in 2008.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will detail her plan Tuesday. The reforms were previewed by the agency in August without as much detail.
The plan is based on a review of immigration detention by Dora Schriro, Napolitano's former detention adviser. She resigned last month to become commissioner of New York City's jails.
Under the plan, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, part of the Homeland Security Department, will develop a way to classify immigrant detainees that will determine the facility where they are detained.
