Replace immigration detention and family separation with community-based support

Schakowsky supports comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship for undocumented Americans, a fair and efficient asylum system, and due process. She calls for community-based case management and support services outside ICE instead of relying on detention and family separation, and opposes using criminal prosecutions for immigration violations as the governing approach.

Context: The response gives no detailed design for the case-management system or eligibility rules for the proposed path to citizenship.

In their own words

We must implement a system that uses community-based case management and support services outside of ICE
