 RELEASE   Contact: Paromita Shah, National Immigration Project, 
 617-227-9727, x1     Immigrants Speak Against Radical Detention and 
 Enforcement Measures in Senate Bill  Amidst Marches and Pending 
 Legislation, Some Notes of Caution     On April 3, 2006, immigrants facing 
 deportation under the current laws, legal experts, and community leaders 
 will speak against radically expanded deportation and detention provisions 
 buried in the Senate proposal that is being widely hailed as a 
 pro-immigration "legalization"  bill.     While there are some good 
 provisions in the Senate bill, including a guest-worker program and earned 
 legalization, it is fatally packed with egregious and unjust enforcement 
 provisions that undercut the spirit and goals of real legalization.  The 
 bill, which was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 27, 
 contains many of the same provisions of the enforcement-tilted bill that 
 passed the House (HR 4437).  These extreme provisions would effectively bar 
 millions of people from even the chance to earn legalization, take away the 
 right to a fair hearing, legalize the indefinite detention of noncitizens, 
 allow domestic military bases to be used for immigration detention, and 
 turn local police into immigration agents.     Current law on immigration 
 enforcement is already very harsh. By giving more detention authority to 
 immigration agents, this bill would undermine checks-and-balances in our 
 immigration system and hurt our communities and families. A real 
 comprehensive immigration bill that offers a just solution must strip these 
 egregious provisions.     Former detainees, their families, asylees, and 
 representatives of legal and community organizations will speak on Monday 
 about the impact of these policies on our clients, our communities, our 
 youth, and their families.  A press kit will be provided.  Actions taking 
 place in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, 
 Boston, and New York City.   \n
