This report from Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS) and the Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC) concludes that there is no humane way to detain families. Report findings are based on staff visits to both the Karnes and Artesia family detention facilities which illustrated that large-scale family detention results in egregious violations of the United States’ obligations under international law, undercuts individual due process rights and sets a poor example for the rest of the world.
