schema:articleBody	Undocumented immigrants detained in the United States at higher risk of coronavirus due to their age or medical condition launched an appeal in federal court Wednesday for their release. The lawsuit, filed in San Francisco on behalf of 13 detainees, said "crowded and unsanitary conditions" in immigration prisons would make migrants even more susceptible to the disease that has killed more than 900 people nationwide. "There is no valid justification for locking up immigrants and putting their lives at risk," said public defender Manohar Raju. "This is an unprecedented crisis that compels us to take swift action before it's too late." Underlying medical conditions make people more susceptible to severe illness if they contract coronavirus. Diabetes, hypertension, asthma, high cholesterol and even tuberculosis are among the conditions suffered by the plaintiffs, who are currently held in California's Mesa Verde and Yuba detention centers. The lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the nation's largest human rights organization. It said Wednesday that one of the plaintiffs had already been released. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Danielle Bennett told AFP the agency "doesn't comment on pending litigation." "ICE makes custody determinations every day, sometimes releasing people from custody on a variety of terms to include alternatives to detention, orders of supervision, etc. for a variety of reasons," she said. Some 37,000 undocumented immigrants are in US detention, with policies tightened under President Donald Trump's administration. On Tuesday, the first coronavirus case in a detention center was reported -- a 31-year-old Mexican in New Jersey. Fears of the disease spreading in similar facilities have led to calls from doctors, politicians and activists for the release of prisoners held for non-violent crimes or nearing the end of their sentences. jt/amz/to
