Democratic senators demand answers on ICE’s use of full-body restraints on deportation flights

A coalition of 11 Democratic U.S. senators has raised alarm over the “near-total secrecy” surrounding deportation flights and the use of full-body restraints, known as the WRAP, by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In a letter addressed to top immigration officials on Thursday, the senators expressed “serious human rights concerns” and called for greater transparency and accountability.
