EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – The American Civil Liberties Union and three other groups have sent the federal government a 186-page letter alleging mistreatment and due process violations against migrants at the Torrance County Detention Facility in Estancia, New Mexico.

The complaint to the Department of Homeland Security alleges “systemic due process violations” in credible fear interviews used to determine if a non-citizen in federal immigration custody should be deported. Alleged violations include interference with access to legal counsel, failure to deliver documents, and an inadequate review of status determination.

The complaint also calls for an immediate DHS investigation of alleged ongoing mistreatment, retaliation, and improper medical care. The letter singles out U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and detention center contractor CoreCivic.

Boo, hoo, hoo.  If they don't like it, they can go the f**k home.

Why would they not claim mistreatment and rights abuses?  It's the surest method, tried and true, to get the American political system to fall to its knees and give them everything they want.
