Investigation finds sexual assault claims against immigration officials routinely ignored

Latino USA follows up on claims of sexual abuse in ICE detention. For this episode, Maria Hinojosa teamed up with investigative journalist Zeba Warsi. Both women and immigrants, they wanted to find out what has changed — if anything — on how ICE handles complaints of sexual abuse from detainees.

Futuro Investigates interviewed at least a dozen immigrants complaining about their time in detention. The patterns of abuse reflected in the data also emerged in several of their allegations, illustrating how this is a systemic issue.
