COLONIE — As immigration attorneys from around New York flock to represent hundreds of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees at the Albany County jail, the stories and experiences of the immigrants are slowly coming to light.
"What's really shocking to me is that they're really disoriented," said Camille Mackler, director of immigration legal policy at the New York Immigration Coalition. "They don't know where they are, they don't know the day. No one has explained anything to them."
