THE FACT that families in South and Central America are essentially giving up their children on the slender hope that they might be allowed to stay in the United States attests to the level of misery caused by Congress’s failure to approve a guest-worker program and comprehensive immigration reform.

“Both adults and children described guards kicking, punching and slapping them or other detainees”
In February last year, guards at the Pontianak Immigration Detention Center in West Kalimantan beat Taqi Naroye, an Afghan asylum-seeker, so badly that he died.
A new Human Rights Watch report finds that this was not an isolated instance — rather, the report documents numerous instances of guards abusing detainees, including children, in immigration facilities across Indonesia. Yet Indonesia provides little or no accountability for those abuses, and has not done nearly enough to clean up its detention facilities.

More than 1,300 immigrant minors were held for periods of three days or more in adult detention centers from 2008 to 2012, according to data released by an immigrant rights group Tuesday.
The data, obtained by the Chicago-based National Immigration Justice Center through a Freedom of Information Act request, raises questions about how children are being handled in a backlogged immigration detention and deportation system that has expelled undocumented immigrants at a record-setting pace since President Barack Obama took office.

More than 1,300 minors — including several dozen 14 or younger — were held for days in immigration detention facilities for adults over a four-year period when the Obama administration ramped up deportations, according to a new report by an advocacy group.
The proposed immigration overhaul in the Senate aims to improve detention conditions for immigrants without legal status, but critics say the stiffer enforcement of border security will create additional backlogs for already overcrowded facilities.

A MEMBER of the expert panel on asylum seekers has slammed the government for allowing children to be placed in detention on Manus Island.
Refugee expert Paris Aristotle said the myriad safeguards outlined in the expert panel's report handed down in August had not been implemented.
While recommending Australia re-establish offshore processing centres for asylum seekers, the panel also outlined a range of measures designed to ensure the mental health of detainees was protected.
Mr Aristotle said his greatest issue of concern was people, and children in particular, being placed in arbitrary detention.
"I don't think that was ever a part of the panel's recommendations, and in my view, something needs to be done to address that immediately," Mr Aristotle said in an interview on Lateline.
"If they were free to move around, if there were adequate services available for them and so forth, then that may have been an acceptable option."
Mr Aristotle said it was unacceptable children were still being placed in detention more than six months after the panel handed down its report.

MELBOURNE, 5 March 2013 (IRIN) - Australia is failing in its international obligations to protect the rights of close to 2,000 children now in immigration detention, say rights groups and legal experts. 

“You cannot underestimate the human cost of detaining children,” Jeroen Van Hove, the coordinator of the International Detention Coalition (IDC), an umbrella group of 258 members (including organizations) working in 50 countries around the world, based in Belgium, told IRIN, describing Australia’s detention regimes as one of the “harshest” in the world.
