Facing torture if returned to their homelands, immigrants are detained for years as appeals drag on.
Expensive per-minute fees make calls unaffordable for many migrant detainees, who can earn as little as $1 a day working in ICE facilities.
Dozens are relocated by ICE, cutting them off from their attorneys and, sometimes, their families.
From food to finding flights, volunteer groups send support to the airport nightly to help asylum seekers.
Migrants released by ICE after dark often must rely on the kindness of strangers and sheer luck or risk spending long nights on the street.
