On May 8, 19-year-old Olivia Andre, who fled with her family from torture and abuse in the Congo, was released from Dilley Immigration center in Texas after six months.

The nursing student from Maine had been separated from her mother and two younger siblings who were released in March. The shackles she was forced to wear for long periods left scars on her wrists and ankles. Mental scars include insomnia, nightmares, depression and PTSD.

Release came after a federal district court ruled that Andre’s continued detention violated her
constitutional right to due process.

"A two-month-old baby boy suffered respiratory distress while held at the Dilley Family Detention Center in Texas, operated by a for-profit company. According to Congressman Joaquin Castro, the infant became unresponsive, and there was no doctor available when staff tried to seek help. An ambulance took him to the hospital where he recovered but the family was later deported to Mexico.”—Scripps News

350 children. Behind bars.

As of March 2026, over 9,500 Palestinians are held in Israeli prisons—including 350 minors. But these aren't just prisoners. They are hostages. Taken from their homes, their schools, their families in the middle of the night.

We cannot look away. We cannot stay silent.

My wroth overrunneth. I like to consider myself a peaceful person. I oppose capital punishment. #ICE paramilitary thugs are testing my will to not demand firing squads for these monsters. They have abrogated their right to call themselves members of our society.

This is the level to which the Republican Guardians of Pedophiles has brought this country. Abusing illegally held children, with no fear of repercussions. One child was abducted from her trip to Disney, with a tourist visa, from the hands of an airline steward, and held as bait for family members who may or may not have valid visas. Months, she’s been there. She’s 9. Alone, 9, and punished for talking to #Propublica.

You and I both know that’s not the only brutality inflicted on these babies.

I don’t know how we stop #Dilley, but we must end it.

John Truair, a Congregationalist minister working with the American Seamen's Friend Society, laments plight of sailors. They can lose a year’s wages upon in hours of shore leave, from prostitutes and swindlers.

Is he merely saying we need harsher sermons on money management directed at sailors, or, must sometimes ministry involve admonishing the (external) abusers of your flock?

How can you help maritime workers today?
