Humane treatment of children and adults

To: Rep. Bentz

From: A constituent in Union, OR

March 16

I am enraged at the treatment of children in Dilley Detention center, and of ICE detainees in general. An Afghan man who assisted the U.S. military during the war just died after only 24 hours in ICE custody. He was 41 and healthy when he went in. This makes the 12th death in ICE custody just in 2026! All children need to be freed from detention and we need real oversight in these facilities. We need them to treat detainees humanely. America cannot be the country that brings concentration camps back.
