Questions have surfaced about work programs inside U.S. immigration detention centers operated by or under contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Some former detainees and advocacy groups describe these programs as coercive, while the government says participation is voluntary and lawful under civil detention rules.
In this video, Lisa Cabrera breaks down:
• What ICE’s Detainee Work Program is
• What the law allows in civil immigration detention
• How ICE describes participation and pay
• What lawsuits and reports have alleged
• How courts have ruled so far
• The difference between criminal incarceration and civil detention
This discussion focuses on statutes, court filings, government statements, and reputable reporting—not speculation.
