Sure. Why not let them go out and get a job while you’re at it. I always thought that part of the purpose for incarceration or in this case detention was to deter violators of the law from continuing to violate the law. But of course those who make these kinds of demands don't believe that being in the country illegally is a violation that warrants repercussions. After all, it's not like they killed someone. Just remember that a large majority of those who are being held in detention are criminals or illegal aliens who have already had one scheduled appointment with a judge, but didn't show up. I see no point to being lenient with those who have not complied with a court order. “Our report recommends that ICE permit detainees to receive visitors, wear their own clothing, move freely, have at least partial privacy in the bathroom and access to email and recreational activities.” Sure.
