ACLU sues U.S. over immigrant detention at Louisiana’s Angola prison, citing cruel conditions and constitutional violations.
The ACLU has sued the U.S. government over its use of Louisiana’s Angola prison, now called the “Louisiana Lockup,” to detain immigrants, alleging inhumane conditions and violations of constitutional rights.
The lawsuit claims detainees, including Oscar Hernandez Amaya, are being punished twice for past crimes, violating the Double Jeopardy Clause, and that holding them beyond six months without deportation breaches a 2001 Supreme Court ruling.
Detainees report contaminated water, mold, and lack of hygiene supplies, prompting hunger strikes.
Federal and state officials defend the facility as necessary for detaining high-risk individuals and deny the severity of conditions.
The detention expansion is part of a $45 billion federal plan to increase capacity to 100,000, with new facilities planned in Indiana and Nebraska.
