08/08/23 - Lawsuit accuses ICE of illegally detaining men in Virginia

Three Central American men filed a federal lawsuit last week alleging they’ve been unlawfully detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Virginia after winning their immigration cases. 

In separate cases, the three men won immigration cases that granted them protection from deportation to their homes in El Salvador and Honduras. Judges ruled the men risked being tortured if they returned. 

There’s still a chance ICE could try to deport the men to a third country, although the lawsuit says the men have not been told where they might be sent.
