Detained immigrant children still face concerning conditions, lawyers say

Nearly 600 immigrant children were held in a Texas family detention center in recent months beyond court-mandated limits and without enough food, medical care or mental health services, with dozens languishing inside for more than three months, according to court documents filed Friday. Children and families held in the Dilley detention facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father were sent earlier this year faced virus outbreaks and lasting lockdowns, per the attorney’s reports. The case of Ramos stirred protest over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, including among detainees behind Dilley’s chain-link fences, and the number of children detained there has fallen in recent weeks.

Public pressure works! Now the question is where are the 800 families? Were they trafficked to another detention center, deported or released? There’s no oversight, no transparency and no accountability for the treatment and trafficking of these children. #NoKings #HandsOffChildren #Dilley

I do not appreciate M Carney's approach on a lot of things. However, in this case there's nothing he can do to force the #USA to follow its own #law.

Mrs. Warner has, under #USLaw, every visa, permit, card, and right to be there, with her daughter and husband. She has been illegally detained by #ICE, #CBP, #DHS. The #Dilley detention is operated by #CoreCivic.

She has been given the opportunity to return to Canada with her daughter. She & her husband are fighting the detention.

"As we take action alongside each other, this generates further energy and hope, fueling our ability to respond to injustice with creativity and sustain our resistance over time.

All of this is crucial, because it has never been more important for us to advocate for an end to family detention." https://www.texasobserver.org/we-must-end-family-detention-in-texas/

We Have the Power to End Family Detention in Texas—and We Must

We cannot let this cruelty continue. There are so many ways to take action, and even small acts make a difference when we do them collectively.
