First, I understand that House Democrats are going to file a discharge petition to fund TSA, FEMA, and everything else under DHS except for ICE, CBP, and the DHS Secretary’s office. I expect the Congressmember to support it. We want these departments funded AND we want major ICE reforms. In fact, we insist on it. Second, 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 can not be the country that brings concentration camps back. Thanks.
