A Conversation With Ms. Q After Her Release From RCJ

After almost 3 years in ICE detention, including multiple transfers between facilities and (most recently) four months in Rensselaer County Jail, "Ms. Q" (a pseudonym, to protect her safety) finally was released from jail on December 3rd. She rejoined her family, pending resolution of her immigration case. Ms. Q tell us how she ended it up in ICE custody, why despite the possibility of retaliation she decided it to speak up on the maltreatment she suffered by ICE and the conditions of the RCJ. Her fight to remain in the country is not over. We will follow up with Ms. Q in the future. Interview by Aileen Javier
