Agatha Joseph's daughter was only seventeen when she was placed in immigrant detention. She spent three years fighting to prove her innocence in seven detention centers—all from smoking a joint with friends as a teenager.

Is this the type of crime Homeland Security is trying to protect Americans from? But in America, unfair immigration laws are denying basic due process to immigrants that live in the United States, which affect all immigrants: legal permanent residents, asylum seekers, students and undocumented people.

Unfair immigration laws:

• Deny a fair day in court and deport people without a hearing

• Tie judges’ hands and prevent them from considering the circumstances of each individual case

• Impose unjust punishment

• Hold immigrants in detention indefinitely in inhumane conditions
