A Phoenix-based advocacy group says U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Monday released five LGBTQ asylum seekers who had been in ICE custody at two Arizona detention centers.
Trans Queer Pueblo, which advocates on behalf of undocumented LGBTQ immigrants, in a press release said the detainees had been isolated “for medical reasons” at La Palma Correctional Facility and Eloy Detention Center.
