Congressman Declares Conditions at ICE Family Facilities a National Scandal
Representative Joaquin Castro is actively advocating against the conditions at the Dilley detention facility, where he has witnessed and documented numerous issues including inadequate food and water, lack of medical care for pregnant women, and alleged sexual assault. Despite the Department of Homeland Security’s claims of the facility being comfortable and well-equipped, Castro asserts that conditions are inhumane and represent a national scandal. He is working to bring greater attention to these circumstances, including escorting families like Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, who were released due to constitutional violations in their detention. Castro plans to bring other members of Congress to visit Dilley to pressure for improvements and a shutdown of the facility.
