A Joint Report of Migration and Refugee Services/United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and The Center for Migration Studies Unlocking Human Dignity: A Plan to Transform the U.S. Immigrant Detention System
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Cover Photo: Fleeing the civil war in Sri Lanka, PK escaped without proper documentation and found his way onto a flight that landed at Dulles Airport. Even though he only intended to transfer airplanes at Dulles and immediately continue his journey to Canada where he planned to apply for asylum, the INS stopped him at Dulles and placed him in detention. His initial asylum application in the US was denied. He appealed the decision and remained in Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS) deten-tion in various local and country jails in Virginia for five years while awaiting the outcome of the appeal. Finally, the INS released him in 2001 on the condition the he leave immediately for Canada to apply for asylum, something he intended to do five years previously.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
