NPR: Fabulous Series on Detention of Immigrants

Fabulous Series on Detention of Immigrants

Every now and then, you have to give your props to other journalists who are doing great work.

In this case, I want to highlight a series on the detention of immigrants fighting deportation. Some get asylum. Some get deported. And some, the articles argue, die from poor medical care.

As America fights over the issue of undocumented/illegal immigration, detention remains a less known area ... and the Washington Post has done quite a job of investigative reporting. I expect this to be nominated for a Pulitzer next go round ...
