ACLU Sues On Behalf Of ICE-Detained Immigrants Denied COVID Vaccines

The American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of the District of Columbia  filed a lawsuit against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demanding that its detainees, particularly those made more vulnerable by medical conditions, be given COVID-19 vaccine boosters.

The ACLU wants these shots to be administered not only to help those immigrants, but also to lower the spread of COVID in ICE detention centers.  These detainees are routinely denied access to needed medical care.
