The past few months have been especially hard for Paul. He was placed in solitary confinement at Caroline Detention Facility under a 45-day sentence.

Paul remains separated from his teenage daughter who began a new year of school w/out her dad. It's⏲️to bring Paul home!

Dozens of immigrants detained by ICE at a jail in upstate NY were abruptly transferred Monday—some as far away as Mississippi—without prior notice to their families or attorneys, advocates say.

ICE transferred dozens of immigrants out of detention this week without notifying their families or attorneys. Some may be elsewhere in New York and some may be in Mississippi: https://t.co/ozYjmHQy60
