FREE RODNEY TAYLOR: UPDATE and CALL TO ACTION Detained in Deplorable and Dangerous Conditions Rodney Taylor is a beloved Atlanta barber and respected member of his community. A double amputee, Rodney has built a life in Georgia since coming here as a child for life-saving medical care. In January he was taken from his home by ICE and has been wrongfully detained at Stewart Detention Center (SDC) ever since, experiencing overcrowded inhumane conditions at SDC along with wrongful neglect of his medical needs for over 6 months. When ICE took him, he had a pending application for US residence (green card). Sign the petition to call for the immediate release of Rodney Taylor: https://www.change.org/p/demand-the-release-of-rodney-taylor-from-ice-detention We demand an investigation into the inhumane conditions at SDC.
