On April 4th, 2013, Claudia Munoz, an organizer with The National Immigrant Youth Alliance, allowed for herself to be detained by Michigan immigration in order to get into detention and expose the abuses.

In her weeks detained Claudia found numerous instances of ICE officials (J. Jolin) forcing detainees to sign Voluntary Departure. Claudia witnessed CBP agents purposefully misinterpreting detainee’s responses in order to incriminate them.

Had Michigan ICE been following the national directives on low-priority detainees Claudia would never have been detained.
