(AJC) — A large group of human rights organizations is preparing to hold a vigil in South Georgia on Friday morning in support of suspected illegal immigrants being held in a federal prison there. The group, which includes Georgia Detention Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union of Georgia, is seeking to highlight the “traumatic effects” the prison is causing for immigrants’ families. Those families can be separated for months at a time while their loved ones are held in the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin.
