Taylor came to the United States from Liberia as a child on a medical visa. His family remained in the U.S. after arriving, but they were never granted American citizenship.
During Monday’s appearance in Gwinnett County, Taylor is expected to discuss his time at the Stewart Detention Center and the conditions detainees faced inside the facility.
