On the recordJune 22, 2000
Neither the family nor the individual is told the specific reasons for the person being held pending deportation. They do not have access to the evidence which is alleged to be the basis for the deportation. And they do not know how long their loved one is going to be kept in jail pending deportation. And from personal experience, I know one family who tried to find some country to take their father and husband and they are still trying, and he has been in jail for 3 years.
