What happens when immigrants are held pending deportation proceedings? See Center of Detention, a major series in the News Tribune about the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma.
The series focuses on one man, Oscar Campos Estrada, and his family. "As a Mexican, a male and a minor offender, he represents the typical detainee who passes through the facility's reinforced doors." The website includes copies of legal documents and video interview with Estrada. (By the way, Estrada's attorney, Amy Kratz, is a UW Law graduate.)
The series also has coverage of big-picture issues about the siting and management of the facility. And a sidebar on the series page links to stories about five other immigrants.
