In Washington, over 20,000 rallied outside the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday to protest a proposed new anti-immigration law that would make it a crime for social service workers to help undocumented immigrants. The Senate Judiciary Committee is considering a law that classify social workers who feed and house undocumented workers as human traffickers. The American Civil Liberties has criticized the bill saying it gives extraordinary powers to detain non-citizens indefinitely without meaningful review. This will potentially place many non-citizens in a legal black hole that subjects them to a life sentence after having served a criminal sentence, or, in some cases, without ever having been convicted of a crime.
