Toronto Star – Immigration Detention of Children and Families Must End
Last month, the International Human Rights Program at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law (IHRP) released a comprehensive report, “No Life for a Child,” on the legal and psychological realities of immigration detention for children and families. […] Evidence shows that community-based alternatives to detention are effective, more fiscally responsible, and far more humane.
