The purpose of the CLE is to recruit and train volunteers to represent undocumented people who have been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Louisiana prisons. Civil rights advocates have documented egregious abuse of immigrants imprisoned in these facilities, including abusive use of solitary confinement that amounts to torture.
