Our client, a man from Central Asia who is seeking asylum in the U.S. after opposing political corruption in his home country, has been detained for over one year at Stewart Detention Center, an immigration prison in Lumpkin, Georgia, operated by private prison company CoreCivic. The government's policy favors release on parole for people like our client who have shown a credible fear of persecution in their home countries, but the government has refused to release our client from detention, and his health is deteriorating. Our client is now challenging his prolonged detention in federal court and seeks release or a bond hearing.
