Judge Fighting Family Detention Has Personal Connection To Immigration

The federal judge who called for the Obama administration to shut down family detention centers knows the issue of immigration personally. 

U.S. District Court Judge Dolly Gee, whose parents came to the U.S. from China, has built a record as a defender of immigrants and ethnic minorities in California, the state with the country's largest foreign-born population and perhaps the most liberal policies towards the undocumented. Now on the federal bench, Gee is among the least sympathetic judges when it comes to the administration's policy of detaining Central American mothers with their children in an effort to discourage more families from making the dangerous trip across the southern border of the U.S.
