Ahn v. The GEO Group, et al.
“Mr. Ahn’s case underscores a fact we know all too well: immigration detention is dangerous, and deadly,” said Oren Nimni, Litigation Director at Rights Behind Bars. “The physical and mental harms caused by detention cannot be overstated and fundamentally undermine any justification for continuing the practice.”
Cofield et al v. McDonald et al.
Rights Behind Bars acts as counsel in this novel litigation seeking to invalidate Plymouth County Sheriff's Office's 287(g) agreement—a contract with the Department of Homeland Security purportedly authorizing local sheriffs to engage in immigration enforcement activities.
Savino et al. v. Souza
In partnership with Lawyers for Civil Rights, Yale Law School Worker and Immigrant Rights Advocacy Clinic, and WilmerHale, Rights Behind Bars acts as counsel for a facility-wide class action seeking release of all people in immigration detention in Bristol County House of Corrections in Massachusetts because of their conditions of confinement and COVID-19.
