ACLU Tries to Prevent Deportee Druggings

Wednesday October 10, 2007 11:31 AM


LOS ANGELES (AP) - The American Civil Liberties Union filed a motion to stop immigration authorities forcibly drugging deportees as they are put on commercial flights back to their home countries.

The motion, filed Tuesday in federal court, comes after an immigration official testified in the Senate last month that 50 immigrants over a seven-month period were forced to take psychotropic drugs. Many of them had no psychiatric diagnosis.

``The new information shows the government's forcible drugging policy is more widespread than previously suggested,'' ACLU attorney Ahilan T. Arulanantham said.

According to court papers, one of the deportees, a Senegalese man, was forced to the floor in the aisle of a plane parked at Los Angeles International Airport and injected with medication.
