Immigration Law

As we approach the country’s 250th anniversary, immigration is top of mind for many people – including Naples artist Mally Khorasantchi. Her large abstract compositions are a personal reaction to something that’s happened to her. This includes her painting “Immigration.” The four-panel piece is on view at the Baker Museum in Naples. Khorasantchi painted it knowing it would be on view at the Baker Museum in the lead-up to the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

That's according to an email exchange shared with The Associated Press.

When reports of inhuman conditions at the Everglades Immigration Detention Center were revealed, Rep. Maxwell Frost was one of several congressional leaders who demanded access to inspect the facility.

One major complaint regarding The Immigration Detention Center has been attorney’s being unable to contact their defendants once they have been brought to the facility.

Environmentalists warn that each day Alligator Alcatraz remains up and running is one more day of irreparable damage to the Everglades, and area that is North America’s only subtropical wilderness and home to thousands of native plants and animal species and dozens of which are endangered or threatened.
