In December 2017, U.S. immigration authorities subjected 92 African refugees to inhumane treatment, shackling and abusing them for two days while attempting to deport them by plane to Somalia. When the news of this incident reached national media, government officials attempted to cover up the truth by issuing misleading statements.
Shackled is a powerful documentary that tells the story of this harrowing failed deportation, the subsequent class action litigation, and the three-year journey of two men, Abdulahi and Said, as they seek safety in the United States. Through the firsthand accounts of Abdulahi and Said, immigration lawyer Rebecca A. Sharpless sheds light on the harsh consequences of the U.S. deportation system and how racism and anti-Blackness operate within it.
The film follows the money that ICE funnels into local jails, private contractors, and charter jets, exposing a vast network of immigration enforcement that detains and abuses noncitizens on a massive scale. Sharpless also provides a broader context to Abdulahi and Said's stories, delving into the issues of Somalia, asylum, and the U.S. court system.
Shackled is a must-watch for anyone who cares about human rights, immigration, and the fight against racism. It will galvanize readers, including attorneys, activists, policymakers, and scholars, to call out and dismantle this brutal infrastructure. The film serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion, justice, and the pursuit of a safer and more inclusive world for all.
