ins detention facilities  

Définition

  • INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) detention facilities hold non–U.S. citizens who have been convicted or accused of crime and are awaiting either trial or deportation. Since the 1990s, few federal agencies have grown more rapidly and become more controversial than the INS. With its new and expansive powers aimed at controlling illegal immigration, the INS has stepped up its commitment to detentions and deportations.
