ICE's Dilley family detention center has nearly tripled since October to 1,332 people, including an estimated 800 children, amid protests, measles outbreak, and criticism from lawmakers.
“Family” detention center. WTAF. This is not Family fun at Disney. It’s a concentration camp. No one should be there. This administration is sick absolutely sick.
I think we need to start using real words that describe these institutions - concentration camps. And soon, with outbreaks, they will turn into death camps. I am still shocked that people go about their daily lives while fully aware of concentration camps in the U.S. I guess people have decentisied having the largest imprisoned population in the US in the world.
The party of family values obviously could care less about children. I wonder if the Inter American Commission on Human Rights could at the very least accept a complaint? Meanwhile globally the reputation of Americans (that's all Americans) has tanked!
Karen- please let me know of any groups holding protests, providing aid to families within Dilley. I’m up here in Vermont and feel very disconnected. Thank you.
yes Mary I'm happy to let you know when we get more protests happening at Dilley. Can you send me your email to karen@hesternet.net. I have worked in the past with a group in VT called Northeast Kingdom Asylum Seekers Assistance Network (NEKASAN). You ight check them out.
More reasons not to support any politician or candidate that thinks ICE is "necessary" or "doing a good job". The only ones to support are those who say "Abolish ICE!" (Thank you, Green Party candidates!)

Well said. This detention center is a reflection of how sick of a society the US truly is.

I'm considering asking Witness at the Border to help implement an ongoing protest at Dilley. Thank you for making this info available and accessible.
