US drug war and deportations: report exposes human toll
A report by Human Rights Watch and the Drug Policy Alliance has revealed the harsh realities of America’s drug policies and deportation practices.
The report reveals that thousands face deportation annually for past drug offenses, despite these acts no longer being crimes in many states.
The report underscores how outdated federal laws devastate lives.
Over 500,000 people have been deported since 2002 mainly for minor drug charges.
This has torn families apart and destabilized communities.
Advocates are stressing the need for urgent reform to align federal laws with state policies.
The report emphasizes the urgent need to end the punitive cycle that continues to haunt non-citizens under America’s drug war and deportation regime.
