"The need for human rights safeguards for detained immigrants in the United States is acute and growing as the Trump administration pursues policies likelly to increase the number of people held in immigration detention and placed in deportation proceedings. [This report] uses government data obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to provide a better understanding of those detained and deported in California. The data cover nearlyy 300,000 federal detentions of immigrants in facilities in California over a four-and-a-half year span from 2011 to 2015. ... Although the records for most of period do not specify whether detainees have US citizen children, the records for one nine-month span (October 2014 to June 2015) generally do, and statistical methods can reliably fill the gaps. Analyzing the records for that nine-month span, Human Rights Watch found that nearly half - 42 percent - of detainees had US citizen children, adding up to over 10,000 parents of US citizen children a year."--Back cover.
