O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave

The green dots are immigrant legal services, and the red dots are immigrant detention facilities known to Detention Watch Network.

A person who is arrested can go before a judge.  Immigrants who apply for political asylum, overstay a visa or are ARRESTED (not convicted) for any reason can be  “detained” .

Happy Fourth of July to the undetained among us.

    I came here by following the Langston Hughes tag.

    thanks for this map, too. (could you include a link to the source?)

    May “the undetained among us” learn to stand with the detained.
