A Virginia company that touts its record of reuniting immigrant families is accused in a lawsuit of exploiting those same families by charging excessive fees to facilitate their release.

The lawsuit filed last week in Rockingham County and announced Thursday accuses Verona-based Libre by Nexus of fraud and violating Virginia’s consumer-protection laws. It says immigrants desperate to be released from detention paid Nexus thousands of dollars and agreed to onerous GPS monitoring imposed by the company.

Donovan said immigration detainees are almost never able to obtain the services of a bail bondsman on their own, and detainees must come up with the full cash amount of their bond — often $10,000 or more — to obtain bail. If not, they may have to wait in jail months or even years for their case to be heard.

“We’ve always said Nexus is providing what could be a valuable service if it was done in a non-exploitative way,” he said.

Of course they have. The hell is wrong with this world.
