This week is a good week to end the detention of immigrant families. #FreeThemAll #KeepFamiliesTogether

Facility #3: Dilley Family Detention Center in Dilley, TX In the last two years, one child tragically died after leaving the facility and a guard was accused of physically assaulting a 5-year-old. #CommunitiesNotCages #FirstTen 8/15

Dilley and Karnes have for six years harmed families & failed to provide appropriate safeguards for children. We are grateful for the relentless work of Proyecto Dilley and RAICES who have protected families & will continue to hold ICE accountable. expressnews.com/news/local/art…

“There were feces and urine overflowing in the toilets.” Are just some things immigration attorneys heard from clients at one ICE facility in TX during the winter storm. Facility holds women & children. kens5.com/article/news/l… KENS 5 @JoseBorderTeam Proyecto Dilley RAICES

#FreeThemAll The families who refused to separate and were then subjected to indefinite detention, are now free. A two year legal battle (still ongoing) Aldea - The People's Justice Center Proyecto Dilley GTLaw Cares nbcnews.com/now/video/deta…

Our brave clients took on Trump and won. Aldea - The People's Justice Center Proyecto Dilley freeing detained families together with GTLaw Cares! Thank you, President Donald J. Trump and Alejandro Mayorkas. Detained for months, now released. What’s next for migrant families seeking asylum? nbcnews.com/now/video/deta… via NBC News

To be clear. #WelcomeWithDignity #RefugeesWelcome

Berks is now empty. But the vision of a fair and humane immigration system requires the permanent closure of Dilley, Karnes and Berks and to #endfamilydetention. Read our official statement

The detention of a child or family (or anyone really) in secure detention for any period of time is never an acceptable alternative. The detention of children - for even short periods of time - is catastrophic - and never in their best interests.

The South Texas Family Residential Center (Dilley) and the Karnes County Family Residential Center in TX share a history of negligence & abuse, including physical and sexual abuse and inadequate medical and mental health care. This is a pattern seen throughout ICE detention. 2/4

Family detention, like all imm detention, is on the wrong side of history. Last week it was reported that ICE will rebrand the Dilley Family Detention Center in TX as a “reception center.” Let's be clear: it’s detention if people are in ICE custody. Biden must #ShutDownDilley!

A law professor at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, called the new 72-hour policy a “positive” sign, but cautioned that any detentions of children raised concerns because of research showing that children in such conditions suffered long-term damage. nytimes.com/2021/03/04/us/…

“The changes at the Karnes and Dilley family prisons are, at best, reversible operational changes that reduce the harm of long-term detention, and at worst, a temporary move to quell concern about this controversial immigration policy,” said @meza_andrea_ RAICES

the administration doesn't get to evade responsibility for huge numbers of unaccompanied kids stuck too long in CBP - they could significantly ameliorate this now if they stopped #Title42 and allowed families to pursue asylum cases 1. together; 2. in freedom; 3. on U.S. soil

“Every single day that Title 42 continues to exist is a day that our government is doing something disgraceful and inhumane, and it should end.”--shalyn fluharty Proyecto Dilley. ACLU is expected to decide by Tuesday whether to press a judge to halt Title 42 expulsions. @leegelernt

Why #FirstTen to #CommunitiesNotCages is calling to #ShutDownDilley: The Dilley Family Detention Center in TX has a record rife with abuse, including reports of foul water & medical neglect. Children are consistently released w/ health issues dubbed by hospitals,“Dilley-ish.”
